What it’s like
The place. Iredell is a very small city in Bosque County, Texas, with a population far smaller than most towns people think of as having a main street. Homes here are worth more than the county's household incomes might suggest, so the cost of buying in sits high against what local paychecks bring in. Winters are mild and brief, with January the coldest month and nights that dip just below freezing, while August is hot, with summer afternoons that are among the warmest in the country.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades and manufacturing also employing many. Across Bosque County, some of the largest workplaces are Lutheran Sunset Ministries, Clifton ISD and the Bosque County Hospital District. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, and the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. About as many adults hold a four-year degree as in many rural Texas towns, which is to say a minority of them.
Things to do. The best known place nearby is Dinosaur Valley State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, where the Paluxy River runs through. Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, a zoo, is also a longer drive away and suits a day out for visitors of any age. Meridian State Park, another protected area, is a longer drive away as well, and offers a quieter outing outdoors.

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