What it’s like

The place. Pearsall is a small Texas city and the seat of Frio County. It is a young town, with a median age well below that of most of the country, and a four-year degree is less common among adults here than in most places. Homes cost less than the typical American home, and incomes in the county are on the modest side, with more households living below the poverty line than in much of the country.

Work. Most residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others employed in farming, forestry and mining, in government, and in manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces in Pearsall are Pearsall ISD, Pearsall Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Walmart. Jobs across Frio County dipped slightly last year, and unemployment is a little lower than a year earlier. Commutes are short, and almost no one works from home.

Things to do. For time outdoors, Hondo Creek and Seco Creek are both rivers a short drive away. Leona River and Blanco Creek are also rivers, though a longer drive away. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, and summers are hot and fairly dry.

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