What it’s like

The place. Luling is a small city where people tend to be older than in much of the country, and where most homes are lived in by their owners. Incomes run below the county's, and typical home values and rents sit at a modest level for central Texas. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and a good number of people spend a fair stretch of time commuting to work.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops and restaurants close behind, along with professional and business services. Among the largest workplaces in Luling are Luling ISD, Ascension Seton Edgar B Davis, and H-E-B. Across Caldwell County, jobs grew over the past year and unemployment has held about where it was a year earlier.

Things to do. Palmetto State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away and is the nearest spot for a walk outdoors. A longer drive brings you to the San Marcos River and to Wonder Cave, a tourist attraction. Winters are mild with little or no snow, summers are very hot, and rainfall is moderate through the year.
