What it’s like
The place. Pilot Point is a small city in Denton County where most homes are lived in by their owners, and a good many residents work from home. Typical home values and rents sit well below what the county's high incomes might suggest, and fewer adults here hold a four-year degree than you might expect near a large metro area. Winters are mild but cold enough for frost, with lows near freezing in January, and summers are hot, with August afternoons among the hottest of the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Among the largest workplaces in town are Pilot Point ISD, Nexion Health and Brookshire Brothers. The typical commute is a long one, which fits a town where many people travel elsewhere in the area for their jobs.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Ray Roberts Lake State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Isle du Bois Creek is a river close by as well. For a bigger outing, Universal Kids Resort, an amusement park, is a longer drive away, as is the Frank Buck Zoo.

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.
