Lockhart has experienced a substantial 14% job growth between 2010 and 2020, considerably higher than United States. Over the same time period, Lockhart has also seen rises in resident’s wages, with an increase of almost 36%.
The city's job and wage growth paired with some of the Austin region’s most affordable land costs and dedication to funding Lockhart’s growth through our Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which has included the addition of a new water tower, water lines, and further investments in local infrastructure, make Lockhart a great place for businesses to thrive and for residents to put down roots.
