What it’s like
The place. Highland Haven is a very small city in Burnet County, Texas, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Typical home values run well above what many Texas towns see, and fewer residents live below the poverty line than is usual. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and the town's households are set up for a quiet, settled way of life.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, the building trades, shops, and professional and business services. A fair number work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate one. Across Burnet County, some of the largest workplaces are Marble Falls ISD, Baylor Scott & White - Marble Falls and H-E-B, and the county has been adding jobs, with unemployment holding steady from a year ago.
Things to do. Water is the draw here. Lake Lyndon B. Johnson and Inks Lake, both reservoirs, are a short drive away, as is Longhorn Cavern State Park, a protected area. For a longer outing, Lake Buchanan is a reservoir a longer drive away. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with August afternoons running very warm, and the year brings a modest amount of rain.

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.
