What it’s like
The place. Snyder is the county seat of Scurry County, a West Texas city whose residents are younger than in much of the country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and a typical home costs less than many people would expect to pay elsewhere. Incomes run a little below the county's, and few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and others in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, or in government. Some of the largest workplaces in Snyder are Snyder ISD, Western Texas College and D.M. Cogdell Memorial Hospital. Getting to work is quick, and very few people work from home. Unemployment in the county is low and has held steady over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Lake Colorado City State Park is a park a longer drive away, and Lake Alan Henry is a reservoir, also a longer drive away. The North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River is a river a longer drive away as well. Winters here are mild and cool, with very little snow, while summers are hot, and the year brings only modest rain.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Snyder’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Scurry County and the Snyder, TX metro.
