What it’s like
The place. Coleman is a small city in central Texas, and most homes here are lived in by their owners. Typical home values are modest, and household incomes across Coleman County sit below the Texas norm. Few adults hold a four-year degree, which fits a town whose roots are in farming and ranching country.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, or farming and mining. Among the largest workplaces in Coleman are Coleman ISD, Coleman County Medical Center and Holiday Hill, a skilled nursing facility. Unemployment across the county has crept up over the past year, and the county has fewer jobs than it did a year earlier.
Things to do. Lake Scarborough, a reservoir, is a short drive away. Farther out, Lake Brownwood is a larger reservoir, and the Robert E. Howard Museum is a longer drive too. Winters are mild and rarely snowy, and summers run hot, so time outdoors is most pleasant in the cooler seasons.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Coleman’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. 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 Coleman County.
