Median household income is roughly $40,000, below the state average, with an economy based on agriculture, oil production, retail services, and government employment. The city has a diverse population with a majority Hispanic community and significant white and Black populations. Homeownership rates are moderate, with a notable rental market serving agricultural and oilfield workers. The cost of living is among the lowest in the greater Austin-San Antonio region, with property taxes, utilities, and housing costs all well below state medians. The I-10 interchange has brought chain restaurants and gas stations, but the core of town retains its small-city character.
Daily life in Luling is shaped by the community calendar and the small-town commercial district along East Davis Street and US-183. The annual Watermelon Thump, held the last Thursday through Saturday in June, is the city's signature event and has been running since 1954. The festival features a watermelon seed-spitting contest, a champion watermelon auction, a parade, live music, a carnival, and a street dance. Luling City Park offers a swimming pool, playgrounds, sports fields, and picnic areas. Luling Barbecue, City Market, and several local restaurants serve the town's food needs alongside fast food options on the I-10 corridor. The Luling Oilfield Museum and Painted Pumpjack Tour along the main streets document the city's oil heritage. Palmetto State Park, a 270-acre park along the San Marcos River about 10 miles southeast, provides hiking, birdwatching, river access, and camping in a palm-and-swamp ecosystem that contrasts with the surrounding prairie.
