What it’s like
The place. Broaddus is a very small town in the piney woods of East Texas, with few residents and few adults holding a four-year degree. Incomes across San Augustine County sit modestly below what many Texans earn, and very few people in town live below the poverty line. A typical home here costs less than in much of the country. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and the year is wet, which keeps the surrounding woods green.
Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Across San Augustine County, the largest workplaces include San Augustine ISD, Deep East Texas Electric Cooperative and Broaddus ISD. Unemployment in the county is a little lower than a year ago, though the county has fewer jobs than it did the year before.
Things to do. Angelina National Forest, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the natural choice for walking, camping and time under the pines. A longer drive brings you to Sam Rayburn Reservoir, a large lake suited to boating and fishing. Also a longer drive away, the Angelina River offers another way to get out on the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Broaddus’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 San Augustine County.
