What it’s like
The place. Douglass is a small town in Nacogdoches County in East Texas, and the figures on this page describe the county as a whole. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners, household incomes are modest, and a sizable share of residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cool, summers are hot, snow is rare, and rain falls plenty through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across the county, the number of jobs has dipped a little lately, and unemployment has crept up over the past year. Commutes are short, and few people work from home.
Things to do. A few places lie a longer drive away. Davy Crockett National Forest is a protected area, Caddo Mounds State Historic Site is a museum, and Ellen Trout Zoo is a zoo.
