What it’s like
The place. Groveton is a very small East Texas city and the seat of Trinity County, where daily life moves at a quiet pace. Household incomes in the county sit below the typical level across the country, and a good many residents live below the poverty line. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and cool days and chilly nights, while summers turn hot, with August the warmest month and afternoons that get very warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with government, the building trades and retail also giving people a living. Across Trinity County, some of the largest workplaces are Trinity ISD, Groveton ISD and Patriot Trinity, a steel manufacturer. Unemployment in the county is a little higher than it was a year ago, though the county has gained jobs over the past year, and some residents work from home.
Things to do. Groveton sits near some of East Texas's best-known outdoor areas, each a longer drive away. Davy Crockett National Forest is a protected area of woodland, and Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area is another protected area suited to a day outdoors. Lake Livingston is a large reservoir, and the Naranjo Museum of Natural History offers an indoor outing, also a longer drive away.

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 Trinity County.
