The 2020 census counted 153,095 residents, the 19th most in Texas and the largest of Bell County's three principal cities. It is directly adjacent to the main cantonment of Fort Hood, and its economy depends on the post and the soldiers and families stationed there.
That dependence has a practical meaning for a small business. Demand is steady, but it rises and falls with things the business does not control: deployments, return dates, moves, and the pay cycles of the people who live on and around the post.
Retail, food and service businesses often see activity around paydays and slower stretches between them. Fixed costs do not follow the same rhythm.
When large numbers of people arrive or leave, demand shifts quickly. A shop that stocked for one level of demand can find itself with too much or too little.
Because many businesses serve the same group, a slow stretch tends to hit all of them at once, which makes it harder to lean on neighbors or suppliers for flexibility.

The most useful way to use working capital in a market tied to one major customer base is to size it to your floor. Work out the monthly sales level at which you cover rent, payroll and inventory. Then decide how many weeks below that level you would want to survive. For illustration, a shop with $30,000 in fixed monthly costs that expects a quiet month at 60 percent of usual sales is looking at a shortfall in the range of $10,000 to $15,000 for that month, plus any stock it must buy ahead. Multiply by the number of quiet months you want to plan for and you have a reasonable range to bring to a funder.
