What it’s like

The place. Holiday Lakes is a very small town in Brazoria County, Texas, where life is quiet and close to home. Very few adults hold a four-year degree, and almost no one works from home. Winters are mild, summers are hot, snow is rare, and the year brings a good deal of rain.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in professional and business services, and in the building trades. Across Brazoria County, the largest workplaces include Dow, a chemical manufacturer, and Alvin ISD, a school district. The county has added a few more jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is unchanged from a year ago.

Things to do. A short drive away, Varner–Hogg Plantation State Historical Site is a protected historic place, and MSR Houston is a race track. A longer drive brings you to Brazos Bend State Park, a protected natural area, and to Follets Island, a beach. All are a drive from town.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Holiday Lakes’ census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Brazoria County and the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX metro.
