What it’s like

The place. Bigfoot is a very small community in Frio County, in the brush country of South Texas. It is the kind of place where neighbors tend to know one another, and no one in town lives below the poverty line. Homes here are worth more than many people might expect for a community this size.

Work. Many residents work in farming, forestry and mining, while others are employed in schools, hospitals and social care, in government, or in professional and business services. Nobody in town works from home, so most people travel to a job. Across Frio County, the largest workplaces include NexTier Completion Solutions, which supports oil and gas operations, along with Pearsall ISD and Frio Regional Hospital. Unemployment in the county is lower than a year ago, though there are somewhat fewer jobs than the year before.

Things to do. Winters are mild, with cool nights and almost no snow, while summers are very hot, and rain falls at a modest rate through the year. For time outdoors, the Medina River is a longer drive away, as is Landmark Inn State Historic Site, a protected historic place. SeaWorld San Antonio, an aquarium and marine park, is also a longer drive away.
