What it’s like
The place. Wolfe City is a small city in Hunt County, Texas, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cool, with a January that stays above freezing in the afternoons and little or no snow, while summers are hot, with August the warmest month. Rain is fairly generous across the year, and the town is home to more people living below the poverty line than is typical for the county.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Across Hunt County, some of the largest workplaces are Hunt Regional Medical Center, Texas A & M University-Commerce and Greenville ISD. Commutes are long, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in most places, though some people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Bonham State Park and Caddo National Grassland are protected areas, each a longer drive away. Lake Bonham is a reservoir, also a longer drive from town. For a quieter outing, the Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum is a museum a longer drive away as well.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wolfe City’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
