At a glance

Concho County is a 3,607-person venue. The county population is 68% White (Census race-alone categories). 32% identify as Hispanic or Latino of any race. Those figures overlap rather than adding up; counted separately, non-Hispanic White residents are 59.5%, which is the basis the chart below uses. Median household income is $57,030, $22,693 below the TX state median of $79,723; 14.1% of residents 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher. 26.9% of residents 5 and older speak a language other than English at home, most commonly Spanish. The largest published sector is Education & health services, at 11.3% of covered employment, average pay $48,373/year. Trailing-12-month unemployment is 3.73%, below the 4.32% state average. The county carried the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, 2020, and 2024, taking 83% to 87% of the vote across the three. At least 26% of residents here live in group quarters rather than households, barracks, dormitories, correctional facilities or nursing homes; the ACS survey and the 2020 census disagree on how many, and this is the lower of the two, so the figures above describe a population substantially larger than the one a summons reaches.

Local economy in 4 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 31% 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 1.3× the lowest ($62,369 vs $48,373/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 11 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.

  • Small-sector pay

    The $213,176 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 99 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.

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.
