What it’s like
The place. Granger is a small city in Williamson County, home to a modest number of people compared with the towns around it. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run well below the county's. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with little or no snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, the building trades, shops, and in schools, hospitals and social care. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and many face a long drive to work. Across Williamson County, large employers include Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD and Round Rock Hospital.
Things to do. Granger Lake is a reservoir a short drive away, a natural spot for time on the water. A longer drive brings Inner Space Cavern, a tourist attraction, and Dell Diamond, a stadium. Lake Georgetown, another reservoir, is 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 Granger’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 Williamson County and the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, TX metro.
