What it’s like
The place. Queen City is a small city in Cass County in northeastern Texas, home to a modest number of people, most of them in houses they own. The population skews older than much of the country, and incomes run below the county's, with a good share of residents living below the poverty line. Winters are mild and brief, with almost no snow, while summers are long and hot and the year brings plenty of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in shops, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in government. Across Cass County, some of the largest workplaces are Graphic Packaging International, Atlanta ISD and Walmart. Commutes are short, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. Atlanta State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the nearest spot for time outdoors. A longer drive brings you to Wright Patman Lake, a large reservoir, and to the Four States Auto Museum, one of the places for a day out. The Sulphur River, the best known of the area's rivers, is 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 Queen City’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, very 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 Cass County.
