What it’s like

The place. Point is a very small city in Rains County, in the east Texas countryside. Household incomes here run a little above the county's, though a noticeable share of residents live below the poverty line, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and short, with January the coldest month and highs still above freezing, while summers are long and hot, with August the warmest. Rain and melted snow fall steadily across the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops also employing many. Across Rains County, the largest workplaces are Rains ISD, Brookshire's and Carolina Carports. The county has lost some jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is a little higher than it was a year earlier. A typical commute is a moderate one, neither especially short nor long.

Things to do. The Sabine River, Lake Tawakoni and Lake Tawakoni State Park are all a short drive away, offering river and reservoir shoreline and protected parkland. A longer drive brings you to the Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum, for those who like local history.
