About the Area:

Odessa, Texas, is a beautiful city in the southwest corner of the Llano Estacado in Western Texas. The Midland-Odessa metropolitan area, to which Odessa belongs, has a population of around 350,000 people and is often referred to by its nickname, the Petroplex. People are attracted to the area because of the abundance of high-paying opportunities in the oil, gas, energy, manufacturing, and transportation industries. The metropolitan area is home to numerous major corporations. These include Halliburton, Champion X, Anthem Oil & Gas, and Chevron.

Because of these career opportunities, Odessa now has a much younger population than the rest of the country, with a median age of just 30.6, compared to 38 for the whole country. In Odessa, you can enjoy the great outdoors and participate in many exciting pursuits. The climate here is pleasant, so you get to spend a lot of time outside without shivering or getting drenched.
