Gholson is a very small city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 1,118 people and just one neighborhood, Gholson is the 802nd largest community in Texas.
Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Gholson is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Gholson is a city of construction workers and builders, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Gholson who work in management occupations (10.57%), sales jobs (9.76%), and office and administrative support (8.13%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 7.32% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
It is a fairly quiet city because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Gholson has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Gholson has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Gholson than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Gholson may be for you.
Being a small city, Gholson does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
The population of Gholson has a very low overall level of education: only 9.17% of people over 25 hold a 4-year college degree or higher.
The per capita income in Gholson in 2018 was $28,693, which is upper middle income relative to Texas and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $114,772 for a family of four. However, Gholson contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
