What it’s like
The place. Red Rock is a very small community in Bastrop County, Texas, where people know one another and the pace is quiet. Homes here are valued well above what many Texas towns see, and few adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, while summers turn hot, with August the warmest month and January the coldest.
Work. Residents mostly work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, in professional and business services, and in shops. Across Bastrop County, some of the largest workplaces are Space Exploration Technologies, Bastrop ISD and H-E-B. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment has stayed about where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. The Central Texas Museum of Automotive History is a short drive away and suits anyone who likes old cars. A longer drive brings you to Lake Bastrop, a lake for time on the water, and to Bastrop State Park, a protected area with woods and trails. Rain falls through the year, so green spots like these are worth a visit in any season.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Red Rock’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low. 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 Bastrop County and the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, TX metro.
