What it’s like
The place. Abram is a small community in Hidalgo County, in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. Homes here are valued below what is typical across much of the country, and the county's household incomes are modest. Winters are mild, with little or no snow, summers are very hot, and the year brings a fairly modest amount of rain.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in the building trades, and in professional and business services. None of them work from home. Across Hidalgo County, the largest workplaces include Idea Public Schools, Edinburg Cisd Schools and The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. The county has added jobs over the past year, though unemployment there is a little lower than it was a year earlier and still not low.
Things to do. Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park and the National Butterfly Center are both protected areas a short drive away, good for time outdoors. The Border Theater is also a short drive off. A longer drive brings you to the McAllen Botanical Gardens, a botanical garden, and the Museum of South Texas History.
