What it’s like
The place. Holliday is a small city in north Texas, with a younger population than many towns its size and homes that are mostly lived in by their owners. Typical home values are well below what many buyers see elsewhere, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the country. Winters are mild and brief, with only a little snow, while summers run very hot, especially in August.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, other services and manufacturing. Across Archer County, some of the largest workplaces are Atmos Energy, Kell West Regional Hospital and Holliday ISD. Very few people work from home, and unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, while the number of jobs has edged up.
Things to do. Lake Wichita and Beaver Creek, a reservoir and a river, are a short drive away, and so are Memorial Stadium and Hoskins Field, stadiums for local games. A longer drive brings you to Lake Arrowhead State Park, a park built around a large reservoir. The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum is also a longer drive away for those who enjoy a museum outing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Holliday’s census tracts, 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 Archer County and the Wichita Falls, TX metro.
