• Diversified

  Top three sectors employ 46% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

• Compressed wage spread

  Highest-paid sector pays only 1.6× the lowest ($58,332 vs $37,568/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 5.0 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

• Small-sector pay

  The $71,676 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 26 jobs. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.

Texas's court structure is unusual: each urban county has dozens of numbered District Courts (Harris ~60, Dallas ~45, Travis ~25, Bexar ~25, Tarrant ~20) with trial assignments random across the full bench. Rural counties typically have 1-2 District Court judges sitting on a multi-county district. County Court at Law judges (limited jurisdiction) and Constitutional County Court judges (presided over by the elected County Judge) are separately allocated and not counted here. TX has ~474 District Court judges statewide.)
