What it’s like
The place. Harleton is a small community in Harrison County, in East Texas. Most homes across the county are lived in by their owners, and typical home values sit well below the national figure. Incomes run lower than across the country, and more residents live below the poverty line than the national average. Winters are cold, summers are hot, snow is rare, and rain is plentiful.
Work. Schools, hospitals and social care, shops, manufacturing, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment employ many residents. Unemployment has eased a little over the past year, although the county lost some jobs in the most recent full year. Commutes are fairly brief, and relatively few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake O' the Pines, a reservoir, is the closest option at a short drive away. Caddo Lake State Park, a protected area, is another choice at a longer drive away. For art and local history, the Michelson Museum of Art and the Harrison County Historical Museum are both a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Harrison County, 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 Harrison County and the Longview, TX metro.
