What it’s like
The place. Aransas Pass is a small coastal Texas city in Nueces County, with a population that skews older than the country as a whole. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. A relatively small share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the winters are mild, with little or no snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, restaurants, hotels and entertainment, the building trades and retail. Among the largest workplaces in town are Aransas Pass ISD, Walmart and H-E-B. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Across Nueces County, the number of jobs grew slightly last year.
Things to do. Nature lovers have good options within a longer drive, including Goose Island State Park and the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, both protected areas. For an indoor outing, the USS Lexington is a well-known museum, also a longer drive away. Summers are hot and the rest of the year is mild, which suits time outdoors for much of the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Aransas Pass’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Nueces County and the Corpus Christi, TX metro.
