What it’s like

The place. Marshall is a small city in East Texas and the seat of Harrison County. It is a fairly young town, with a lower median age than many places its size, and more renters than across the county, though most homes are still lived in by their owners. Household incomes run below the county's, and typical home values and rents sit within reach of many budgets. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in much of the country.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants and hotels, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Marshall are Marshall ISD, Walmart and the hospital, Marshall - GSMC. Most people have a short drive to work, and only a small number work from home. Across Harrison County, unemployment is close to where it stood a year ago, and there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before.

Things to do. In and beside town, the Michelson Museum of Art and the Harrison County Historical Museum make easy outings, and the Starr Family Home State Historic Site is close by as well. For time outdoors, Caddo Lake, a reservoir, is a longer drive away. Winters are mild, with cool days in January and very little snow, while summers are hot and the year is wet.
