What it’s like
The place. Bergheim is a small town in Kendall County, in the Texas Hill Country northwest of San Antonio. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, a larger share than in many parts of the country. Winters are mild, with little or no snow. Summers are hot, and the area gets a good deal of rain over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Building trades and jobs in banks, insurance and property also employ a good number of people. Unemployment in the county is lower than it was a year earlier, and job numbers have edged up. Many adults hold a four-year degree, and a sizable share of residents work from home at least some of the time.
Things to do. Guadalupe River State Park is a protected area in or beside the town, a good place for walks and time near the water. Cave Without a Name is a tourist attraction a short drive away. Six Flags Fiesta Texas, an amusement park, is a longer drive off.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Kendall County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Kendall County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
