    Oldham County, Texas is a rural county located in the Texas Panhandle region. The geography is characterized by flat, arid plains with a semi-arid continental climate. The population is small, around 2,000 residents, with a primarily white and Hispanic demographic. The economy relies heavily on agriculture, ranching, and oil/gas production, offering limited job opportunities outside of these industries. The cost of living is relatively low, with affordable housing, but healthcare access and quality can be a challenge. The K-12 education system is small but well-regarded, though higher education options are limited. Cultural attractions are sparse, though the area offers ample outdoor recreation like hunting, fishing, and hiking. Transportation infrastructure is basic, relying on highways, and crime rates are low. Overall, Oldham County provides a quiet, rural lifestyle, but may lack the amenities and economic diversity sought by some potential residents.
