What it’s like
The place. Mildred is a very small town in Navarro County, Texas, with a population far smaller than most places in the county. Homes here are valued well above what incomes in the county might suggest, which is worth knowing for anyone weighing the cost of settling in. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain or melted snow falls at a moderate rate through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing many people. Across Navarro County, the largest workplaces include Corsicana ISD, Navarro College and Navarro Regional Hospital. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than is typical nationally, and the usual commute is a fair drive, with only a small share of people working from home.
Things to do. Water is the main draw nearby. Richland Creek and Chambers Creek are rivers a short drive away, good for a quiet afternoon outdoors. For more of a trip, Navarro Mills Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away, and Fairfield Lake State Park is a protected area, also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mildred’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 Navarro County and the Corsicana, TX metro.
