STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jasper County, the county that includes Evadale, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#152 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 40% of the state
| Infection | Jasper County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 256.9 84 cases ▼ 48% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 104 34 cases ▼ 41% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.2 3 cases ▼ 39% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 27.5 9 cases ▲ 4% | 26.4 | 16 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Jasper County, chlamydia has fallen from 260.8 to 256.9 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 118.3 to 104 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 15.2 to 9.2 per 100,000 (39%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Jasper County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jasper County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Jasper County residents living with HIV, 65.3% are in care · 57.1% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Jasper County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Evadale sits far enough from the nearest clinic that getting tested means blocking out time for a real drive, and for young adults here, the ones navigating new relationships and building lives in a community where households run large and most families have put down roots, that distance is the first thing that shapes whether screening actually happens. Jasper County's STI rate tables on this page show where the pressure falls, and the ages most affected are exactly the people whose schedules and circumstances make a long round trip easy to postpone. The town's ownership picture tells one story: most residents own their homes and have lived here long enough to feel settled.
But the unemployment rate is striking, and with roughly three in ten households earning above six figures, a substantial share of the community is stretching budgets carefully. The roughly one in six residents who rents tends to pay modest monthly costs by most measures, yet when a paycheck is already accounted for, a clinic copay or the gas for a county-road drive can quietly tip the calculation. For a resident working irregular hours or managing a household of four or more on a single income, the difference between a $0 visit and a $75 one is the detail worth checking before heading out on the highway.
Getting there
At 4.88/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Evadale generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Texas law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Texas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
