What it’s like
The place. Linden is a small city in Cass County, in the piney northeast corner of Texas. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are modest. Incomes across the county run on the lower side, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. Across Cass County, some of the largest workplaces are Graphic Packaging International, Atlanta ISD and Walmart. A typical commute is moderate, and some people work from home.
Things to do. The area is known for its water and woods. Caddo Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away, as is Sulphur River. Atlanta State Park, a protected area, is also a longer drive away. Winters are mild and rarely snowy, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.

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