What it’s like

The place. Fate is a city in Rockwall County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and renters are a small minority. Residents tend to be younger than in most places, incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than is typical. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and many people drive a fair distance to work, though a number of them work from home.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing, and banking, insurance and property. Across Rockwall County, some of the largest workplaces are Rockwall ISD, Baylor Scott & White MC- Lake Pointe and Presbyterian Hospital of Rockwall. The county added jobs over the past year, and unemployment in Fate is a little higher than it was a year earlier.

Things to do. Lake Ray Hubbard, a reservoir, is the nearest outdoor water to head for, though it is a longer drive away, as is every place on the list. For museums, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza are both well known. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and rain falls fairly evenly through the year, so outings are easy to plan most of the year.
