What it’s like

The place. Trent is a very small Texas town, home to far fewer people than most places in the state. Winters are cool, with January the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest and afternoons well into hot territory. A typical year brings a modest amount of rain and melted snow, on the dry side for much of the country. Home values are fairly low, and the share of residents living below the poverty line is small.

Work. Residents of Trent work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, in farming, forestry and mining, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Fisher County, the largest workplaces include Gold Bond Building Products, Roby Cisd Schools and Big Country Electric Cooperative. Unemployment in the county has held steady over the past year, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before. A typical commute takes a little while, as workplaces tend to be some distance away.

Things to do. Most outings from Trent mean a longer drive, toward the Abilene area. Abilene State Park is a protected area for time outdoors, and Abilene Zoological Gardens is a zoo that suits a day with visitors. The Grace Museum is a museum in Abilene for a quieter afternoon indoors.
