What it’s like

The place. Mobeetie is a small city in Wheeler County in the Texas Panhandle, one of the smaller places that still carries the name of a city. Winters are cold, summers are hot, and snow falls in most winters, with a fair amount of rain over the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Unemployment in the county has risen over the past year, and the number of jobs dipped slightly in the most recent year on record.

Things to do. Fort Elliott, a frontier army post from the nineteenth century, lies in or beside town. The Devils Rope Barbed Wire Museum, which is devoted to barbed wire, is a longer drive away, as is McClellan Creek, a river.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Mobeetie’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Wheeler County.
