Best In Texas Real Estate™: Hill Country

Kerrville has the largest population in the Texas Hill Country—24,755 people—according to ALEX Intelligence’s 2024 American Community Survey data. This isn’t just a headline; it’s a signal of where growth is concentrated. In a region where population size correlates directly with infrastructure, services, and investment, Kerrville’s lead is not incidental—it’s structural. The data shows it’s #1 in Texas Hill Country and #1 in Texas on this metric. For real estate strategy, this means scale matters: the most resilient markets are those with the largest resident base.
