What it’s like
The place. Sudan is a small city in Lamb County on the Texas South Plains, with a young population compared with much of the country. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer people live below the poverty line than you might expect for a farming area. Homes here are modest in price, and most people have a short drive to work.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, in farming, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Lamb County, some of the largest workplaces are Littlefield ISD, Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest and the Lamb Healthcare Center. Unemployment across the county is a little lower than a year ago, and the county has added jobs, and almost everyone gets to work in person rather than from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a longer drive away. Winters are cold, with a little snow, and summers are hot, so spring and autumn suit a day trip best. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Sudan’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 Lamb County.
