What it’s like
The place. Rosharon is a small community in Brazoria County, south of Houston, with a population that stays well below that of the larger towns around it. Typical rents are high for a place this size, and a four-year degree is held by fewer adults here than is usual across the country. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers run hot, and the year is a wet one.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and the building trades. Few people work from home. Across Brazoria County, some of the largest workplaces are Dow, a chemicals maker, and school districts such as Alvin ISD and Pearland ISD. The county added jobs last year, and its unemployment rate is little changed from a year earlier.
Things to do. Brazos Bend State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and MSR Houston, a race track, is also close by. A longer drive brings you into Houston, where the Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Zoo are among the better-known places to spend a day.
