Floydada, the “Pumpkin Capital of Texas,” is the county seat of Floyd County, established in 1876 on the South Plains. Agriculture dominates, with cotton, corn, and sorghum shaping the economy. The county is strongly rural, with Floydada as the hub and Lockney another small town. Housing consists of modest frame houses, brick ranchers, and manufactured homes, with few new subdivisions. Lubbock is about 50 miles southwest, providing larger-city amenities. Existing homes are affordable, usually $90,000–$160,000, while farmland averages $2,000–$4,500 per acre. Buyers here often look for affordable country living or farmland investments.
