What it’s like
The place. Dodd City is a very small town in Fannin County, in northeast Texas, with far fewer residents than most towns. Homes here are valued well above what is typical for the county's incomes, and some households live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and rarely snowy, summers are hot, and rain falls through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Fannin County, some of the largest workplaces are the Veterans Health Administration, Bonham ISD and Clayton, which makes manufactured homes. Commutes are long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Bonham State Park and Lake Bonham, a protected area and a reservoir, are both a short drive away. Bois d'Arc Lake, another reservoir, is also a short drive away. A longer drive leads to the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site, a museum.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Fannin County and the Bonham, TX metro.
