What it’s like
The place. Poteet is a small city in Atascosa County, south of San Antonio. Few adults here hold a four-year degree, and typical household incomes in the county are modest. Homes are priced within reach of many buyers, and the town is a place where people tend to know one another.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades and in manufacturing. Across Atascosa County, some of the largest workplaces are Pleasanton ISD, H-E-B and Poteet ISD. The county has added a few more jobs than the year before, and unemployment has stayed close to where it was a year earlier. A typical commute is fairly short.
Things to do. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, so spring and fall suit outdoor outings. For a day trip, San Antonio is a longer drive away and has the Alamodome, the Tower of the Americas and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Also a longer drive away is San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, a protected area.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Poteet’s census tracts, 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 Atascosa County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
