What it’s like

The place. Poth is a small town in Wilson County, Texas, home to a small number of people. Homes here cost more than the typical home elsewhere in Texas would suggest for a town this size, and fewer households than you might expect live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree here than in many parts of the country. Winters are mild and short, with little or no snow, while summers turn very hot by August, and rain falls at a moderate pace through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, the building trades and professional and business services. Across Wilson County, some of the largest workplaces are Floresville ISD, Connally Memorial Medical Center and H-E-B. Jobs in the county have held roughly steady from one year to the next, and unemployment there is no different from a year ago. Many people drive a fair distance to work, and some work from home.

Things to do. A short drive away, the Wilson County Courthouse and Jail is a museum on local history, and Kicaster Creek is a small river for a walk or a quiet afternoon. Farther out, Mission San Juan Capistrano is a park, and the Medina River is a longer drive away. Calaveras Lake, a reservoir, is also a longer drive from town.

Staff on average in 2025, as each workplace reported it to OSHA with its injury records: 16 workplaces with 20 or more staff, 1,595 people in all across the county; Poth has none of its own. School districts come from the Common Core of Data (NCES, 2023–24) and hospitals from their Medicare cost reports (CMS, 2023); FTE marks full-time equivalent staff. Not listed: many offices and banks, which need not report to OSHA; military bases, whose staff OPM withholds; and, in about half the states, city and county governments.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Poth’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Wilson County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
