What it’s like
The place. Pollok sits in East Texas, in Angelina County, where the population is a mix of ages and most families have deep roots. Across Angelina County, most homes are lived in by their owners, and home values are lower than in many larger cities. Winters are mild, summers are hot, and it is wetter than much of the country, with little or no snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in shops, or in professional and business services. Unemployment has risen a little over the past year, and the county had slightly fewer jobs last year than the year before. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and fewer people work from home, while most commutes are short compared with those in big cities.
Things to do. Davy Crockett National Forest is a protected area a longer drive away, good for walking and quiet days among the trees. Ellen Trout Zoo, also a longer drive away, is a zoo that many families visit together. Pines Theater, a longer drive away, is a theatre for plays and performances.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Angelina County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Angelina County and the Lufkin, TX metro.
