What it’s like
The place. Eagle Pass is a Texas city on the border with a young population, with residents who are younger than in most of the country. Household incomes are higher than across Maverick County, though a good number of residents live below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than the typical American town.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in government, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Among the largest workplaces in Eagle Pass are Eagle Pass ISD, H-E-B and Walmart. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and Maverick County has added jobs, and the trip to work is fairly short for most people.
Things to do. Fort Duncan, a fort in or beside town, is a place to see some of the area's history. Elm Creek, a river in or beside town, offers a spot to be outdoors. Winters are mild and cool rather than hard, summers run very hot, and snow is rare, with modest rainfall through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Eagle Pass’ 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 Maverick County and the Eagle Pass, TX metro.
