What it’s like
The place. Colmesneil is a very small East Texas city, home to few enough people that neighbors tend to know one another. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and a typical home here is valued well within reach of many buyers. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is common across the country, and a typical trip to work is fairly long, with very few people working from home.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by the building trades, shops and professional and business services. Across Tyler County, the largest workplaces include Woodville ISD, Tyler County Hospital and Walmart. Unemployment in the county has eased slightly over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown by a very small amount.
Things to do. Lake Amanda, a reservoir, sits in or beside town, and Turkey Creek is a short drive away. A longer drive brings you to Martin Dies, Jr. State Park and Angelina National Forest, both protected areas well suited to a day outdoors. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, summers are hot, and the year brings plenty of rain.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Colmesneil’s 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 Tyler County.
