What it’s like
The place. Avinger is a very small town in Cass County, in the piney woods of northeast Texas. Homes here are typically worth less than the national average. Winters are mild, with highs in the mid-range for the season and little or no snow, while summers are hot, and rain falls steadily through the year.
Work. People who live in Avinger work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing and in the building trades. Not many adults hold a four-year degree, and a small share work from home. Across Cass County, the largest workplaces include Graphic Packaging International, Atlanta ISD and Walmart, and the number of jobs grew a little last year, though unemployment is a little higher than a year ago.
Things to do. Lake O' the Pines, a reservoir, is a short drive away and is the nearest place for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Daingerfield State Park and Caddo Lake State Park, both protected areas with room to walk and spend a day outdoors. The Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Center and Museum is also a longer drive away for those who prefer local history.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Avinger’s 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 Cass County.
