What it’s like
The place. Hermleigh is a very small community in Scurry County, Texas, where neighbors are likely to know one another by name. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a typical home is valued well above what that income might suggest. Winters are mild and cool rather than harsh, with snow a rare event, and summers turn properly hot, with July the warmest month. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year.
Work. Residents of Hermleigh work most often in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by farming, forestry and mining, then shops and government. Across Scurry County, the largest workplaces include Snyder ISD, Western Texas College and D.M. Cogdell Memorial Hospital. Unemployment across the county is about where it was a year ago, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Outdoor places are within reach of Hermleigh, though each is a longer drive away. Lake Colorado City State Park is a state park, and Champion Creek Reservoir is a reservoir, both suited to a day spent near the water.
