What it’s like
The place. Hideaway is a small city where residents are older than in most of the country, and nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Poverty is rare here, and homes are priced well above what is typical nationally. Winters are mild and brief, with almost no snow, and summers run hot, with a fair amount of rain through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with manufacturing and professional and business services also common. Across Smith County, some of the largest workplaces are Christus Mother Frances Hosp-tyler, The University of Texas at Tyler and Tyler ISD. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Tyler State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the closest of the outdoor spots. A longer drive brings you to Lake Palestine, a reservoir, and to Caldwell Zoo. The Neches River is also within a longer drive for anyone who likes to be near the water.

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