Wharton County, Texas
Wharton County, seated in the city of Wharton along the Colorado River southwest of Houston, runs on rice, cotton and cattle farming across the Gulf Coastal Plain, supplemented by oil and gas production from local fields. Houston's growth is starting to reach the county's northern edge along US 59/I-69, but a median household income near $67,000 and median home value of $189,900 still reflect a largely agricultural, small-town base rather than metro spillover.
