What it’s like
The place. Bronte is a very small town in Coke County, Texas, where neighbors tend to know one another and daily life moves at a quiet pace. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with fairly dry conditions through the year and little snow to speak of. A four-year degree is held by fewer adults here than across the country as a whole.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in transport, warehouses and utilities, in manufacturing, and in other services. Across Coke County, Bronte ISD and Robert Lee ISD are among the largest workplaces. Jobs across the county have become noticeably fewer over the past year, while unemployment has stayed low and has come down slightly. Commutes are long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time on the water, E.V. Spence Reservoir and O.C. Fisher Reservoir are both reservoirs a longer drive away. They are the nearest well-known places for fishing, boating or a day by the lake.

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