What it’s like
The place. Haskell is a small Texas city where the population skews older than in much of the country. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and homes cost less than in most of the country. Winters are mild and brief, with little snow, and summers get very hot.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in government, or in farming, forestry and mining. Across Haskell County, some of the largest workplaces are Haskell Memorial Hospital, Haskell Cisd Schools and M A Mortenson. Getting to work usually takes only a short drive, and the job market has changed little from a year ago.
Things to do. Lake Stamford is a lake a longer drive away, and Paint Creek is a river that is also a longer drive from town. The Panhandle Plains Wildlife Trail, a protected area, is another longer drive away and suits anyone who likes to watch wildlife.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 1 workplace with 20 or more staff, 325 people in all across the county; Haskell has two of its own. Hospitals come from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023) and school districts from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Haskell’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 Haskell County.
