What it’s like
The place. Bulverde is a small city where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and renters are few. Household incomes run above the county's, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than you might expect. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and still fairly gentle, while summers are hot, peaking in August, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with banks, insurance and property, shops, and the building trades also well represented. Within Bulverde, H-E-B, Greenstone Electrical Services and Touchstone Communities are among the largest workplaces. Commutes are on the long side, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Natural Bridge Caverns and Guadalupe River State Park offer cave tours and time outdoors beside the river. Bracken Cave, also a short drive off, is a protected area. For a bigger outing, San Antonio Zoo is a longer drive away.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Bulverde’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. 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 Comal County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
