What it’s like
The place. Richland is a very small town in Navarro County, Texas, with far fewer people than most places a visitor would think of as a town. Fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole, and the typical home is priced below what many buyers elsewhere in Texas would expect. Winters are mild and brief by national standards, while summers are hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Across Navarro County, some of the largest workplaces are Corsicana ISD, Navarro College and Navarro Regional Hospital. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Richland Creek runs in or beside town, a quiet place for a walk along the water. A longer drive away are Navarro Mills Lake, a reservoir good for a day by the water, and Fort Parker State Park, a protected area with room to hike and camp. Chambers Creek is another river within a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Richland’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 Navarro County and the Corsicana, TX metro.
