What it’s like

The place. Natalia is a small Texas city in Medina County, southwest of San Antonio. Most adults here do not hold a four-year degree, and the typical home is worth well above what the county's household incomes would suggest. Winters are mild and summers are hot, with little or no snow.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by shops, professional and business services, and the building trades. Across Medina County, some of the largest workplaces are Medina Valley ISD, Medina Regional Hospital and Walmart. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment there has barely moved from a year earlier.

Things to do. Most of what draws visitors lies a longer drive away, in and around San Antonio. The San Antonio Zoo is a good outing for families, and the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park protects centuries-old mission sites. Closer to home in spirit, Medina Lake is a reservoir for time on the water, also 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 Natalia’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 Medina County and the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metro.
