What it’s like
The place. Evadale is a small community in Jasper County, in the piney woods of East Texas. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and across Jasper County incomes sit below the Texas norm. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with plenty of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Jasper County, the largest workplaces include Westrock CP, a paperboard mill, along with Jasper ISD and Walmart. Jobs across the county have slipped slightly over the past year, and unemployment has held steady.
Things to do. Big Thicket National Preserve and Village Creek State Park are both protected areas a short drive away, and Village Creek itself is a river close by for paddling or a day by the water. A longer drive brings you to the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, a museum with a broad collection.

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