What sets Texanna apart on work
Texanna’s biggest commute is a long one

Texanna is a place people come home to
There are 70 jobs based in Texanna, about one for every ten working residents, so almost everyone works somewhere else. On a workday Texanna has about 1,700 people in it, 28% fewer than live here. Day and night ↓
A big share show a job far from home
45% of working residents have a main job more than 50 miles away. Part of that is employers that report every worker at one head office, so not all of those trips happen daily. How far ↓
Written from the Census figures on this page. Commute flows, distances and jobs are Census LEHD 2024, primary jobs only (the self-employed aren’t counted); commute time and working from home are from the Census American Community Survey; with 736 working residents, small shifts move the shares.
How the Jobs & income grade adds up in Texanna
On income, poverty and job access, Texanna is better than 12% of U.S. towns. The poverty rate holds Texanna’s grade up (10.6%, U.S. 12.5%); job access by car pulls it down (ahead of 6% of U.S. towns).

Short hops and long hauls from Texanna
About 45% show a job over 50 miles away. Some of that is real, and some is employers that report every worker at a head office, so a few long commutes are on paper only.
