An estimate

Uhland didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

The school district

Hays Consolidated Independent School District

Uhland’s K–12 school district, shared with Buda, Hays, Mountain City, Kyle, Niederwald. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
