What it’s like
The place. Christine is a very small town in Atascosa County, Texas, with a population well under the size of most towns in the region. Winters are mild and short, with little or no snow, and summers are long and hot, with August the warmest month. Rain falls through the year in modest amounts, enough to keep the countryside around the town green in good seasons.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Atascosa County, some of the largest workplaces are Pleasanton ISD, H-E-B and Profrac Services, a contract oilfield services company. Very few adults in town hold a four-year degree, and the county's jobs grew slightly last year while unemployment held about where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Choke Canyon Reservoir is a large reservoir a longer drive away, and Choke Canyon State Park, a protected area beside it, is a similar distance. The Atascosa River and San Miguel Creek are both rivers a longer drive away, suited to a quiet afternoon by the water.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Christine’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 Atascosa County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
