What it’s like
The place. Uvalde is a small city and the seat of Uvalde County. It is a younger place than many, and incomes here run a little below the county's, with more people living below the poverty line than is typical. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and relatively few adults hold a four-year degree.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Uvalde are the Uvalde Cisd Schools, Uvalde Memorial Hospital and H-E-B. The drive to work is short, and very few people work from home. Unemployment across the county is a little higher than a year ago, and the number of jobs has barely changed.
Things to do. The Grand Opera House, a theatre, is in or beside town. A longer drive away are Garner State Park, a protected area, and Rancheros Creek, a river. Winters are mild and brief, summers are hot, and rain is modest across the year.

It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
