Daisetta, Texas
Daisetta is a city in Liberty County, Texas, United States. The population was 923 at the 2020 census.
The city was named after residents Daisy Barrett and Etta White.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2), all land.
Daisetta sits on a salt dome. In 1969, 1981, and again in 2008, sinkholes formed in the area. The 1981 sinkhole, which grew out of the smaller 1969 sinkhole, is thought to have formed from a collapse in the salt dome and is now a lake. The cause of the 2008 sinkhole is not yet known, but a collapse in the salt dome that Daisetta sits on is thought to be the cause and suspected to be caused by a company drilling oil out of the area. The 1981 sinkhole grew to 250 feet (76 m) wide and 30 feet (9.1 m) deep. By the evening of the day after the 2008 sinkhole formed, its growth had stabilized, but officials still saw it as a potential risk to the safety of city residents. With its length of 600 by 525 feet (183 m × 160 m) and maximum depth of 150 feet (46 m), it was nicknamed the "Sinkhole de Mayo" by local residents (a pun on "Cinco de Mayo"). In 2023, another sinkhole formed next to the larger 2008 sinkhole.
As of the 2020 census, there were 923 people, 316 households, and 269 families residing in Daisetta, and the median age was 33.8 years.
30.6% of residents were under the age of 18 and 12.6% of residents were 65 years of age or older; for every 100 females there were 89.1 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 86.9 males age 18 and over.
0.0% of residents lived in urban areas, while 100.0% lived in rural areas.
There were 316 households in Daisetta, of which 42.1% had children under the age of 18 living in them.
