What it’s like
The place. Edgewood is a small town in Van Zandt County, East Texas, and its residents tend to be somewhat older than in many places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little above the county's, though a share of residents still live below the poverty line. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and a good deal of rain falls through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, the building trades, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Van Zandt County, some of the largest workplaces are Wills Point ISD, Solar Turbines and Walmart. Commutes are on the long side, which suggests many people travel out of town for work, and fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than in many places.
Things to do. For time on the water, Lake Tawakoni is a reservoir a short drive away, and the Sabine River is also close by. Lake Tawakoni State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away, and is a good choice for a full day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Edgewood’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Van Zandt County.
