    Major cities or towns: None

    Loving County, Texas is a small, remote county located in the Permian Basin region of West Texas. The geography is characterized by vast, arid landscapes with rolling hills and sparse vegetation. The climate is hot and dry, with long, scorching summers and mild, dry winters. The population is extremely low, with just over 100 residents, making it the least populous county in the state. The economy is heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry, which provides the majority of employment opportunities. The cost of living is relatively low, but housing options are limited. There is no public school system, and the nearest higher education institutions are several hours away. Healthcare facilities are minimal, with the closest hospital being over an hour's drive. Cultural attractions and entertainment are scarce, though the county offers access to vast natural areas for outdoor recreation. Transportation infrastructure is basic, with few paved roads. Crime rates are low, but the remote location and small population contribute to a somewhat isolated community vibe. Overall, Loving County presents a unique, rural lifestyle, but may lack the amenities and services desired by many potential residents.
