What it’s like

The place. Cat Spring is a small community in Colorado County, Texas, a rural part of the state with farmland, pasture, and wooded creek bottoms. Its roots go back to German settlers who arrived in the nineteenth century, and that heritage still shows in the town's churches, halls, and long-standing traditions. Summers are long and hot, winters are mild compared with the northern states, and the area gets a good deal of rain across the year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals, and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, and in professional and business services. Job numbers in the county were about level with the year before, and unemployment has edged down over the past year. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and few people work from home, so most adults commute by car.

Things to do. The Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area of open grassland, is a short drive away. The Old Stafford Opera House, a theatre, and the Brenham Heritage Museum, a local history museum, are both a longer drive away.
