Huffman is a medium-sized town located in the state of Texas. With a population of 12,061 people and two associated neighborhoods, Huffman is the 226th largest community in Texas. Huffman has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Huffman, where the median household income is $85,442.00.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.40% 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 town 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!) Huffman 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. Huffman has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Huffman than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Huffman may be for you.
