What it’s like
The place. Wimberley is a small city in Hays County, home to a small population at the last census. Homes here cost a good deal more than most, and rents are high too, so living in town generally takes a comfortable budget. Winters are mild, with January the coldest month and cool days and chilly nights, while summers run hot, with August the warmest and afternoons climbing close to the top of the thermometer's usual range for a Texas summer. Rain and the occasional bit of snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Wimberley ISD, H-E-B and Brookshire Brothers are among the largest workplaces in town. The typical commute is a moderate drive each way, and unemployment across Hays County sits close to where it was a year ago, while the number of jobs in the county has grown.
Things to do. The Heart of Texas Wildlife Trail, a protected area, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Hamilton Pool Preserve is a waterfall and swimming spot, and Canyon Lake is a reservoir, both a longer drive away. The Blanton Museum of Art is another longer drive, for anyone wanting a museum day.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Wimberley’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 Hays County and the Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, TX metro.
