Winnie is a very small coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Texas. With a population of 3,162 people and two associated neighborhoods, Winnie is the 501st largest community in Texas. Much of the housing stock in Winnie was built relatively recently. The construction of new real estate can often be taken as an indication that the local Winnie economy is robust, and that jobs or other amenities are attracting an influx of new residents. This seems to be the case in Winnie, where the median household income is $80,913.00.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Winnie is worth considering.
One of the nice things about Winnie is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
As is often the case in a small town, Winnie doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
In Winnie, just 8.03% of people over 25 hold a college degree, which is very low compared to the rest of the nation, whereas the average among all cities is 21.84%.
The per capita income in Winnie in 2022 was $23,132, which is low income relative to Texas and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $92,528 for a family of four. However, Winnie contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
