What it’s like
The place. Maypearl is a small city in Ellis County, home to fewer people than most towns of its kind. Household incomes here sit well below the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers get hot by August, and a fair amount of rain falls over the year.
Work. Residents most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and professional and business services. Across Ellis County, some of the largest workplaces are Waxahachie ISD, Target and Gerdau Midlothian. The typical commute is a long one, and only a small share of people work from home.
Things to do. For time on the water, Lake Waxahachie is a reservoir and Joe Pool Lake is a lake, both a longer drive away. Cedar Hill State Park, also a longer drive away, is a protected area. Texas Motorplex, a race track a longer drive away, draws those who like to watch racing.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Maypearl’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Ellis County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
