Andrews
7.6
High score (8-10)
Andrews is a Permian Basin oil county where the money occasionally flows, and the 18,000 residents who stayed when others left are used to oilfield workers rotating in and out. A foreign man with professional credentials in the energy sector has a specific entry point here that pure rural Texas wouldn't offer. It's not a social destination but the transient oilfield culture at least means you're not the first outsider anyone has met.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Andrews runs entirely on oil and gas — when the Permian is booming the money is real, but the social infrastructure of a county of 18,000 doesn't match the cash. The gender ratio skews male due to the oilfield workforce. Women with options tend to move to Midland or Odessa for the slightly larger social scene those cities offer.
Lower score (below 6)
This is an oilfield county with a Walmart, some fast food, and not much else for social life. The male-to-female ratio is heavily skewed by oilfield work. The Hispanic population is significant but social circles are tight and family-oriented. A foreign man without oilfield industry connections has essentially nothing to work with here.
