What it’s like
The place. Kendalia sits in the Texas Hill Country, and most of the figures that describe its residents are drawn from across Kendall County. The county has an older, middle-aged population, with household incomes that are high and few residents living below the poverty line. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are high.
Work. Across Kendall County, residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in the building trades, and in banking, insurance and property. Unemployment is lower than a year earlier, and the number of jobs grew slightly over the past year. A good share of adults hold a four-year degree, and a sizeable group works from home at least part of the time.
Things to do. The Cave Without a Name is a tourist attraction a short drive away, and Guadalupe River State Park is a protected area also a short drive off. For a longer outing, Canyon Lake is a reservoir a longer drive away. The town has cold winters with little snow, hot summers, and a good deal of rain through the year.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Kendall County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Kendall County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
