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. Winnie has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Winnie, where the median household income is $80,913.00.

It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Winnie has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Winnie has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Winnie than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Winnie may be for you.
