What it’s like
The place. Hargill is a small community in Hidalgo County, in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Typical home values here are modest, and incomes across Hidalgo County are lower than in much of the country. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and days that stay comfortable, while summers run hot, with August the warmest. Rain and melted snow add up to a moderate amount over the year.
Work. Residents of Hargill work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, the building trades, and professional and business services also employing many people. Across Hidalgo County, some of the largest workplaces are school districts such as Idea Public Schools and Edinburg Cisd Schools, along with Doctors Hospital at Renaissance. Unemployment across the county has eased a little over the past year, and the county has added jobs.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area a longer drive away, and Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park is another. The Museum of South Texas History is also a longer drive away, for an afternoon indoors. Each of these is a trip rather than an errand.
