Dimmit
7.4
High score (8-10)
Dimmit County on the Texas-Mexico border had a temporary oil boom from the Eagle Ford shale play that brought money and transient workers. Carrizo Springs is 97% Hispanic. A foreign man who speaks Spanish has a specific social context among the permanent Catholic Hispanic community.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The Eagle Ford boom has faded significantly. Carrizo Springs is the county seat. The economy is agriculture and oil. The county is isolated and small.
Lower score (below 6)
The post-boom bust reality in Dimmit County means the temporary workers left and the permanent population remains small, tight-knit, and family-oriented. A foreign man without South Texas ties and Spanish has no social entry point here.
