West Texas Tri-cities




The Midland-Odessa Metropolitan Area is served by an international Airport located in Midland County . The area is home to many oil based companies a large majority of the laborers located in the area work in this field. The high rising costs of oil have resulted in an economic boom for the area.

Note: Midland-Odessa and Andrews are never referred to as "Tri-Cities". Andrews is a considerably smaller(one tenth of the size of Midland or Odessa) and more remote city and is usually never tied in with Midland and Odessa, except for census purposes. A more common name given to the area is "Midessa". Further, the Midland-Odessa MSA has been divided into two distinct MSA's with the release of 2000 census data.
