What it’s like
The place. Winnie is a small community in Chambers County with a young population, and the median age here is well below what you would find in many Texas towns. Household incomes run below the county's, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with a good deal of rain across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, the building trades and professional and business services. Some of the largest workplaces in Winnie are Riceland Medical Center, Market Basket and Wisch Auto Sales. Commutes are fairly long, and very few people work from home.
Things to do. For time outdoors, Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge and Sea Rim State Park are protected areas, each a longer drive away. Tyrrell Park is another park within a longer drive. Those who prefer indoor outings can visit the Edison Museum, also a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Winnie’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 Chambers County and the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX metro.
