Odessa is the county seat of Ector County. The 2020 census counted 114,428 people living in this vibrant city in the middle of the state. The larger Odessa Metro Area has a population of 278,801 (U.S. 2020 Census). When combined with the population of Midland, 340,391 people are living in and around this city.
Odessa, just like Midland, was established in 1881. It was a watering stop for cattle shipping via the Texas and Pacific Railroad. In 1891, it became the county seat of Ector County. It was named after a sister city in Ukraine with the same name. The local grassland resembles the landscape in Ukraine.
It developed slower than nearby Midland, and oil was not discovered until the late 1920s. In 1925, the population was only 750. By 1930, 2,407 people lived there. A year later, the population doubled to over 5,000.
The local economy went up and down with oil booms and busts. The area had oil booms in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1970s, and 2010s. The busts came in the 1960s and 1980s.
In contemporary times, the oil is flowing, making America energy independent from the rest of the world.
Odessa blends with Midland. The two cities have all the big city amenities desired with a laid-back country-ranch style.
The local economy depends on petroleum, retail, health care, and education. The unemployment rate is 9.9%, which is too high. The median household income is $66,769 per year, which is about $2,000 less than the American average of $69,021. The economy is keeping a steady pace with job creation when compared to the national average. Odessa's predicted job growth rate for the next ten years is 32.6%, compared to the predicted national average of 33.5%.
The industries offering the most jobs are education (10%), health care (9.5%), petroleum mining (6.9%), hospitality (6.8%), repair/maintenance (3.6%), and waste management (3.6%).
The best neighborhoods are on the southeastern side of the town.
