What it’s like
The place. Granite Shoals is a small city on the shore of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson, in Burnet County in the Texas Hill Country. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and winters are mild and brief while summers run hot, with the warmest weather in August and a modest amount of rain through the year.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops, and professional and business services. Across Burnet County, some of the largest workplaces are Marble Falls ISD, Baylor Scott & White - Marble Falls and H-E-B. Commutes tend to be long, and a fair number of people work from home.
Things to do. The lake itself is in or beside town, and Inks Lake and Lake Marble Falls are both a short drive away. Inks Lake State Park, also a short drive off, is a protected area with a lake setting. Longhorn Cavern State Park is another short drive, and farther afield are Lake Buchanan and Pedernales Falls State Park.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Granite Shoals’ 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 Burnet County.
