What it’s like
The place. Splendora is a small city with a young population, with residents younger on the whole than in many American towns. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a good share of households live below the poverty line. Typical home values and rents sit at a middle level for the region. Winters are mild, with the coldest days in January bringing cool highs and lows that stay above freezing, while summers run hot, especially in August. Snow is rare, and rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Commutes are on the long side, and a modest number of people work from home. Across Montgomery County, the largest workplaces include Conroe ISD, Lone Star College System and HCA Houston Healthcare Kingwood. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Grand Texas Theme Park, an amusement park, and Lake Houston Wilderness Park are both a short drive away, and Peach Creek, a river, is close by as well. For a longer outing, Sam Houston National Forest is a protected area where people walk and spend time outdoors, and Lake Conroe is a reservoir for time on the water.
