Stonewall County, TX

Demographic and economic profile of Stonewall County, TX, sourced from the US Census Bureau (American Community Survey) via Data USA.

AI Overview

Stonewall County is a small, agriculturally oriented rural county with a population of 1,244 that has declined 10.2% over five years, reflecting the broader depopulation trend common to remote West Texas communities. The labor force is limited, with 62.0% participation, 14.1% holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and median worker earnings of $35,526, though a notably low 2.8% unemployment rate suggests stable local demand for available workers. Housing costs are exceptionally low—median home value of $54,700 and median gross rent of $620/month—and a GDP per capita of $109,465 against a median household income of $56,875 points to capital-intensive production, likely in oil, gas, or large-scale agriculture, rather than a broad wage-based economy.
