What it’s like
The place. Pattison is a very small city in Waller County, Texas, home to far fewer people than most towns of its kind. It is the kind of place where a small population means a quiet daily rhythm. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and highs in the mid-range, while summers turn hot, especially in July.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, manufacturing, and professional and business services also employing many. Across Waller County, some of the largest workplaces are Amazon, Prairie View A & M University and Waller ISD. The typical commute is a longish one, and unemployment across the county has held about steady over the past year while the number of jobs has grown.
Things to do. Stephen F. Austin State Park, a protected area, and San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site are both a short drive away, as is Mill Creek, a river. Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area, is a longer drive away for those who want a day out in open country.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Pattison’s 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 Waller County and the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX metro.
