Hidalgo County, Texas
Hidalgo County covers 1,571 square miles of the Rio Grande Valley with about 892,000 residents across McAllen, Edinburg, Mission and Pharr — the largest county in this group and one of the fastest-growing in Texas. Cross-border trade is the economy: the Pharr-Reynosa bridge is the busiest produce crossing on the U.S.-Mexico border. Median household income of $54,000 against a $140,900 median home value makes it one of the most affordable large markets in the state, though colonias on the urban fringe sit outside normal subdivision standards and should be understood before underwriting the county's raw parcel counts.
