Howard County, Texas
Howard County sits in the Permian Basin, with Big Spring, its county seat, historically built around oil refining and now a hub for regional Permian Basin drilling and oilfield services. Howard College and I-20 traffic between Midland-Odessa and Abilene add commercial activity beyond energy, and home values here track the boom-bust cycles typical of West Texas oil counties.
