Round Top is a tiny town located in the state of Texas. With a population of 90 people and just one neighborhood, Round Top is the 1030th largest community in Texas. Round Top has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
Round Top real estate is some of the most expensive in Texas, although Round Top house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.
Round Top is a decidedly white-collar town, with fully 94.12% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average. Overall, Round Top is a town of sales and office workers, managers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Round Top who work in sales jobs (38.24%), management occupations (17.65%), and business and financial occupations (11.76%).
Another notable thing is that Round Top is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Round Top is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Round Top’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Round Top is worth considering.
As is often the case in a small town, Round Top doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The citizens of Round Top are among the most well-educated in the nation: 41.46% of adults in Round Top have a bachelor's degree or even advanced degree, whereas the average US city has 21.84% holding at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Round Top in 2018 was $94,637, which is wealthy relative to Texas and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $378,548 for a family of four. However, Round Top contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
