What it’s like
The place. Munday is a small city in Knox County, Texas, where most homes are lived in by their owners, more so than in many places. Household incomes sit close to the county's, and homes cost less than in much of the country. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the median age is somewhere in the middle years.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with farming, forestry and mining, shops and the building trades close behind. Across Knox County, the largest workplaces include Munday Cisd Schools, Knox County Hospital and Knox City-o'brien Cisd Schools. Almost nobody works from home, and the county has seen jobs grow a little over the past year.
Things to do. Lake Stamford is a lake a longer drive away, and Millers Creek is a river, also a longer drive away. Both offer a change of scene for time spent by the water. Winters are cool, with only a little snow, and summers turn quite hot, so spring and fall are the easier seasons for getting out.

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