Anderson County, Texas
Anderson County is anchored by Palestine, its seat, and by an unusually large share of state government employment — several Texas Department of Criminal Justice units sit within the county, underwriting steady public-sector payrolls alongside timber and cattle operations in the piney woods. Lake Palestine and the historic rail junction downtown draw some tourism and retiree interest. Median household income of $62,000 trails the state average, and the $185,300 median home value reflects a market still driven by rural and small-town demand rather than metro spillover.
