Driftwood's population is predominantly upper-middle-income families and professionals who have chosen the Hill Country setting for its space, natural landscape, and access to Dripping Springs ISD schools. Median household income is approximately $110,000, well above the Hays County average, reflecting the concentration of professional households with members employed in technology, finance, healthcare, and business services in Austin. Homeownership rates exceed 85 percent, as the area is almost entirely owner-occupied single-family homes with very few rental options. Property taxes on a $700,000 home in Dripping Springs ISD total approximately $13,000 to $14,500 annually, which is a significant consideration for buyers. Most properties rely on private water wells drawing from the Trinity Aquifer and septic systems, and water availability can be a constraint during drought periods. The Hays County development code and Dripping Springs ETJ regulations govern building setbacks, impervious cover limits, and dark-sky lighting requirements.
