What it’s like
The place. Fischer sits in Comal County, in the Texas Hill Country, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Residents are generally in middle age, and household incomes run above the national typical, while far fewer families fall below the poverty line than across the country. Homes are valued well above the national typical, so the area suits those who can afford to buy here. Summers are hot, with the warmest weather in August, and winters are mild by northern standards, though January is the coldest month. The area gets a good deal of rain over the year.
Work. Many adults in Comal County hold a degree, more than across the country as a whole. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Jobs grew slightly last year, and unemployment is a little higher than it was a year earlier. Commutes tend to be longer than the national typical, though a sizable share of residents work from home.
Things to do. Canyon Lake, a reservoir, is a short drive away and makes a pleasant outing for those who enjoy the water. The Comal River, a longer drive off, is another good option for a relaxed afternoon by moving water. Hamilton Pool Preserve, a waterfall set in a protected area, is a longer drive away but well worth the trip.
