What it’s like
The place. Round Mountain is a very small town in Blanco County, in the Texas Hill Country. Winters are cold, though snow is rare, and summers are hot. Rain falls over much of the year, so the land stays green for much of the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in professional and business services. Others work in the building trades or in manufacturing. The town's working life is closely tied to the wider county around it.
Things to do. Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Pedernales Falls State Park, also a protected area, is nearby. For a longer outing, Hamilton Pool Preserve is a waterfall that lies 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 Round Mountain’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 Blanco County.
