What it’s like
The place. Schulenburg is a small city in Fayette County, Texas, and its residents are somewhat older than in many places. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and typical home values are fairly high. Winters are mild and brief, with little or no snow, while summers run hot, and the year brings a fair amount of rain.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades also employing a good number. Among the largest workplaces in town are Dairy Farmers of America, Perdue Foods and Prime Products. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and incomes in town sit below what a typical Fayette County household earns.
Things to do. For a day out, Buescher State Park is a protected area of woods and trails, though it is a longer drive away. Also a longer drive off is Monument Hill and Kreische Brewery State Historic Sites, a museum site tied to the history of the region. The Old Stafford Opera House, a theatre, is another longer drive from town.

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