Brooks
7.2
High score (8-10)
Brooks County in South Texas is most known for a US Border Patrol immigration checkpoint on US-281 — the county's social reality is defined by that checkpoint and by being 98% Hispanic with 7,000 people. A foreign man with deep South Texas or Mexican cultural fluency has limited opportunity even here.

Falfurrias is the county seat and main town. The economy is agriculture, ranching, and the border enforcement employment. The social scene is tight-knit South Texas Catholic family culture.
Lower score (below 6)
The BP checkpoint context shapes the county's social atmosphere in ways that make casual socializing feel monitored. Seven thousand people in a county where social circles are family circles — a foreign man without South Texas roots has no entry point. The county is isolated from any larger population center.
