Is block captain a common thing? (sopuli.xyz)

I am re-watching King of the Hill and Hank Hill is the block captain of Rainy Street. Is that a thing all over the US or more state or city specific? Is this a serious side-job and does a block captain get something in return? And how to become one?

My neighborhood growing up had a neighborhood watch sign. Nobody actually patrolled. I just assume it was a hotline for busybodies to call when they saw suspicious people.
