What it’s like
The place. Somerville is a small Texas city in Burleson County, with a population that keeps it close-knit. Household incomes run a little below the county's, and a share of residents live below the poverty line. Homes are modestly priced, and a minority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild and rarely bring snow, summers are hot, and a fair amount of rain falls over the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops and the building trades. Across Burleson County, some of the largest workplaces are Evers and Sons, a pipeline construction firm, Caldwell ISD, a school district, and Trussworks, which makes roof trusses. Unemployment in the county is unchanged from a year ago, and the county has gained jobs over the past year. The typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. Somerville Lake, a reservoir, and Lake Somerville State Park and Trailway, a protected area, are both a short drive away and suit a day on the water or the trails. For a longer outing, Washington-on-the-Brazos is a protected area with deep roots in Texas history, and the George Bush Presidential Library is a museum, each 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 Somerville’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.
