What it’s like
The place. Junction is a small city in the Texas Hill Country and the main town of Kimble County. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country as a whole. Winters are mild and brief, while summers run hot, and the year brings a modest amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in restaurants and hotels, and in government. Among the largest workplaces in Junction are Junction ISD, PAY and Save and Pedernales Electric Coop. The county has fewer jobs than a year earlier, and unemployment is slightly higher than it was then.
Things to do. South Llano River State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away, as is Walter Buck Wildlife Management Area. Gentry Creek, also a short drive away, is another spot for time by the water. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to the James River.

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