What it’s like
The place. Atascosa is a community in Bexar County, in south Texas. Across the county, residents are younger than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, while summers are hot, with August the warmest month of the year, and the area receives a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Across the county, unemployment has edged up slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown only a little. A minority of adults hold a four-year degree, and few residents work from home, so most people commute to work.
Things to do. The Alamodome is a stadium a longer drive away, and it is among the best known venues in the area. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, also a longer drive away, is a protected area that preserves historic mission sites. The Tower of the Americas, another longer drive away, is a tourist attraction with views over the city.

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 Bexar County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
