The population is around 2,000, with a median age of 40 and a predominantly white demographic. The economy is largely agricultural, with cattle ranching and farming as the primary industries. The cost of living is relatively low, but the housing market can be limited. The education system consists of a single public school district, with no higher education institutions in the county. Healthcare options are limited, with the nearest major hospital around 30 miles away. Cultural attractions are sparse, but the area offers ample outdoor recreation opportunities, including hunting, fishing, and hiking.
