What it’s like

The place. Keene is a small city in Johnson County where household incomes run well below the county's, and where a smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than you might find in larger metro areas. Winters are mild and brief, with snow a rare event, while summers turn hot, especially in August. Rain and melted snow come in moderate amounts across the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, the building trades and a range of other services. Some of the larger workplaces in Keene itself are Community Living Concepts, which runs group homes, and Dyche Industrial Services, which does pipe, duct and boiler insulation. Commutes are of moderate length, and only a small number of people work from home.

Things to do. Close by, Lake Pat Cleburne is a reservoir a short drive away, and the Layland Museum is another short drive. For a bigger outing, the Fort Worth Zoo and Six Flags Over Texas, an amusement park, are a longer drive away, as is the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.
