What it’s like
The place. Medina sits in the hills of Bandera County, in the part of Texas known as the Hill Country. The county's population is older than most of the country, and most homes are lived in by their owners, far more often than across the nation. Winters are mild and snow is rare, summers are hot, and rain falls fairly steadily through the year.
Work. Jobs across Bandera County grew over the past year, while unemployment edged up slightly. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, professional and business services, building trades, or shops. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than across the country, and commutes tend to be longer than most.
Things to do. Lost Maples State Natural Area, the best known of the nearby places, is a protected area a longer drive away. Brewington Creek, a river a short drive away, offers a closer outing. Garner State Park, another protected area a longer drive off, rounds out the choices.

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.
