What it’s like
The place. Quinlan is a small Texas city in Hunt County, a close-knit place where most people know their neighbors. Most households own the place they live in, and homes here cost more than you might expect for a town this size. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many parts of the country, and a share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month, while summers run hot, with August the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with the building trades, banks, insurance and property, and manufacturing also employing many. Within Quinlan itself, the largest workplaces include Quinlan ISD, Walmart and Brookshire's. Unemployment across Hunt County is unchanged from a year ago, and the county has added a few more jobs than the year before. Some residents work from home, though most travel to a job.
Things to do. The closest outing is Lake Tawakoni State Park, a protected area a short drive away, good for time by the water. A longer drive brings you to Lake Tawakoni itself, a large reservoir. Further afield, Southfork Ranch is a museum worth the trip.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Quinlan’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 Hunt County and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metro.
