What it’s like
The place. Meadowlakes is a small city in Burnet County, Texas, and it is a place where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes here run a little above the county's, and a fairly low share of residents live below the poverty line. Adults are more likely than not to hold a four-year degree, and quite a few work from home. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and the year brings a modest amount of rain.
Work. People who live in Meadowlakes work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in other services, in shops, and in banks, insurance and property. Across Burnet County, the largest workplaces include Marble Falls ISD, Baylor Scott & White - Marble Falls and H-E-B. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there is close to where it stood a year earlier.
Things to do. Water is close at hand, with Lake Lyndon B. Johnson and Lake Marble Falls, both reservoirs in or beside town. Longhorn Cavern State Park, a protected area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Lake Buchanan is another reservoir a longer drive away.

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