Locations in Texas

Regional Analysis for Texas

The geographic dataset for Texas encompasses 1048 individual locations organized into 6 categories, providing access to approximately 1,383,946,825 residents across 1476 incorporated communities. Each location's service area is defined by a 30-minute driving isochrone, capturing the practical reach of destinations that range from everyday retail to critical healthcare and transportation. With an average catchment of 1,320,559 residents per location, the data highlights significant variation in population coverage across different parts of Texas. The sections below break down this information to reveal which locations serve as the most critical regional hubs, how coverage patterns differ between urban and rural areas, and where access gaps may exist.

Top service hubs

Texas's service coverage is shaped by a clear hierarchy of regional destinations. Medical City Las Colinas, operating as a Hospital in Irving, commands the largest catchment area at 4,810,899 residents across 20 communities. Following closely, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving (Hospital) in Irving serves 4,795,362 people, reinforcing the region's coverage depth. The combined reach of the top 10 destinations totals 43,703,123 residents, or 3% of all coverage in Texas. This distribution highlights how a relatively small set of locations serves as the backbone of regional access, connecting the largest population centers to essential services. Areas between these hubs rely on smaller, more localized destinations that nonetheless play a vital role in providing coverage to communities farther from major population centers.

Urban and rural coverage

Examining urban versus rural coverage across Texas reveals how population density influences service access. The 946 urban and suburban locations typically generate catchment areas several times larger than those of the 102 rural locations, driven by higher population concentrations and more connected road networks. The majority of mapped locations in Texas serve urban or suburban catchment areas, where dense populations and well-developed road networks generate large service areas. Texas's urban profile indicates that most residents benefit from multiple nearby service options and short travel times. The gap between the median catchment population of 782,437 and the average of 1,320,559 confirms that there is moderate variation in catchment sizes, with some larger locations pulling the average above the typical service area. These coverage dynamics have practical implications for residents of rural Texas, who may travel longer distances and have fewer alternatives when accessing services.

Largest Service Areas in Texas

The table below presents all 1048 mapped locations in Texas, ranked by the total population within a 30-minute drive. The largest service area belongs to Medical City Las Colinas, a Hospital in Irving, reaching 4,810,899 residents across 20 communities. At the other end of the spectrum, Throckmorton County Memorial Hospital serves the smallest catchment with 975 residents. This range illustrates the geographic diversity of Texas, from densely populated metropolitan corridors to more isolated rural destinations.
