What it’s like
The place. Point Blank is a very small city in San Jacinto County, and nearly everyone who lives here owns their home. Incomes sit below the county's. Winters are mild and brief, with cool days and nights that stay above freezing, while summers are hot, with August afternoons among the hottest of the year. The year brings a good deal of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in professional and business services, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across San Jacinto County, among the largest workplaces are Shepherd ISD, Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD Schools and Brookshire Brothers grocery stores. The commute is long, well over what is typical for much of the country, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Lake Livingston is a reservoir a short drive away, and it is the closest place for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Sam Houston National Forest, a protected area of woods, and to Lake Livingston State Park, also a protected area. Huntsville State Park is another protected area a longer drive off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Point Blank’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 San Jacinto County.
