What it’s like
The place. Castle Hills is a small city inside the San Antonio area, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run well above the county's, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Homes here cost more than is typical, and rents are on the high side too.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and manufacturing. Within the city itself, the largest workplaces include H-E-B and Indigo Construction. Commutes are fairly short, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Alamodome, a stadium, and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away. So is the San Antonio Zoo. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers get very hot, so outings tend to suit the season.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Castle Hills’ census tracts, 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 Bexar County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
