What it’s like
The place. Yantis is a very small town in Wood County, East Texas, where most people know one another. Homes here are valued well above what many would expect for a place this size. Winters are mild and short, with little or no snow, and summers run hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Wood County, the largest workplaces include Walmart, Mineola ISD and Jarvis Christian University. Few people here work from home, and unemployment across the county has stayed close to where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Lake Fork Reservoir and Rainwater Creek are both a short drive away, which makes the water easy to reach for a day out. A longer drive brings you to Lake Tawakoni State Park, a protected area on the shores of a large reservoir. For a different kind of outing, the Southwest Dairy Museum is also a longer drive away.

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