What it’s like
The place. Groesbeck is a small city and the seat of Limestone County in Texas. Household incomes here run a little above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect for a town this size. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and cool, with January the coldest month, while summers turn very hot, and August is the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, in shops, or in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Groesbeck are Limestone Medical Center, a critical access hospital, along with Branford Filtration and Windsor Healthcare Residence. Unemployment in the county is close to where it stood a year ago, and the county has slightly fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Fort Parker State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as are the Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site and Booker T. Washington Park. Lake Limestone, a reservoir, lies a longer drive away and is a natural choice for a day on the water.

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