Magnolia is a very small city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 3,349 people and 13 associated neighborhoods, Magnolia is the 598th largest community in Texas. Much of the housing stock in Magnolia was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Magnolia economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Magnolia, where the median household income is $59,922.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 14.90% 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.

One downside of living in Magnolia is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Magnolia, the average commute to work is 36.84 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

As is often the case in a small city, Magnolia doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.

In terms of college education, Magnolia is somewhat better educated than the 21.84% who have a 4-year degree or higher in the typical US community: 27.31% of adults 25 and older in the city have at least a bachelor's degree.

The per capita income in Magnolia in 2022 was $43,176, which is wealthy relative to Texas, and upper middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $172,704 for a family of four. However, Magnolia contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
