What it’s like
The place. Perryton is a small city in the Texas Panhandle and the seat of Ochiltree County. Its residents are younger than in most American communities, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run just below the county's, and a four-year degree is held by a minority of adults.
Work. Many residents earn their living in farming, forestry and mining, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants and hotels. Among the town's largest workplaces are Perryton ISD, Ochiltree General Hospital and United Supermarkets. Most people get to work in a short commute, and few work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Palo Duro Creek is a river a longer drive away, as are Optima Lake and the Optima National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area. Winters bring cold, with some snow, and summers get hot, so spring and fall may suit a trip best. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Perryton’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 Ochiltree County.
