What it’s like
The place. Falfurrias is a small city and the seat of Brooks County in South Texas. Residents tend to be somewhat younger than in much of the country, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than is typical. A larger share of people live below the poverty line than across the country, and homes here cost far less than the national typical. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot, with July the warmest month. Rain is modest through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in the building trades, government, and farming, forestry and mining. The biggest workplaces in Falfurrias include Brooks County ISD, H-E-B and Compass Group. Jobs in Brooks County slipped a little last year, and unemployment is a touch higher than it was a year earlier. Very few people work from home.
Things to do. Nearby outdoor spots include Los Olmos Creek and San Fernando Creek, both rivers a longer drive away. For sports, Javelina Stadium and Nolan Ryan Field are stadiums, also a longer drive from town.

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