What it’s like
The place. Purdon is a small community in Navarro County, in north-central Texas. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, and the typical home value is set against the local incomes that many families earn. Residents live with hot summers, cold winters with little snow, and a good deal of rain over the course of a year.
Work. Much of the local work is in schools, hospitals and social care, manufacturing, shops, and the building trades. Unemployment has edged up over the past year, though the county has added jobs in the most recent year. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Navarro Mills Lake is a reservoir a short drive away, and it is the closest place for boating and time on the water. Fort Parker State Park, a protected area a longer drive off, offers a quieter outing among the trees and open land. Richland Creek, a river a longer drive away, is another option for a day outdoors.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Navarro County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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.
