What it’s like
The place. Port Mansfield is a very small community on the Texas coast, where the Laguna Madre meets the Gulf side of the Rio Grande Valley. Homes here cost more than a typical household in Willacy County would find easy to afford, since incomes across the county are modest. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with little or no snow and a moderate amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents of the area work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, government and manufacturing close behind. Across Willacy County, some of the largest workplaces are Raymondville ISD, H-E-B and the Windsor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Raymondville. Unemployment across the county has risen over the past year, and the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Things to do. The Laguna Madre, a shallow coastal lagoon, is a short drive away. A longer drive leads to Padre Island, a beach, and to Padre Island National Seashore, a protected stretch of shoreline. Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, also a longer drive, is a protected area set aside for wildlife.
