Round Rock is a city in Williamson and Travis counties in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 119,468 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area.
The city straddles the Balcones Escarpment, a fault line in which the areas roughly east of I-35 are flat and characterized by having black, fertile soils of the Blackland Prairie, and the west side of the Escarpment, which consists mostly of hilly, karst-like terrain with little topsoil and higher elevations and which is part of the Texas Hill Country. Located about 20 miles (32 km) north of Austin, Round Rock shares a common border with Austin near State Highway 45.
