Summary

Every Texas county, shaded by the share of civilians 18 and over who are veterans. Darker counties have a higher share. County borders are the U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary (cb_500k).

In a typical Texas county, 6.9 per cent of civilians 18 and over are veterans. That midpoint sits a little above the statewide share of 6.4 per cent, or 1,408,009 of 22,039,680 civilians 18 and over. Averaging the 254 county rates instead gives 7.2 per cent, pulled up by a cluster in Central Texas: Bell at 19.4 per cent, Lampasas at 18.9 per cent and Coryell at 18.8 per cent. Twenty-eight counties reach 10 per cent or more, and 79 fall below 6 per cent. Yoakum, at 1.2 per cent, is the lowest. Counts run a different way from rates. Harris, Bexar, Tarrant, Dallas and Bell together hold 37.8 per cent of Texas veterans, even though only Bell ranks among the highest shares.

Summary

The full dataset: all 254 counties with civilians 18 and over, veterans, the veteran share, male and female veterans, veterans 18 to 64 and 65 and over, and nonveterans. Sorted by veteran share and re-sortable on any column. Use the filter box to jump to a county by name. The veteran share is that county's veterans divided by its civilians 18 and over; the column cannot be averaged into a state figure, because that would weight Loving County the same as Harris.

About this data

Veteran status in table B21001 covers the civilian population 18 years and over. People on active duty are outside this universe, so a county with a large military post can show a high veteran share among civilians without counting those still serving.
A county veteran share is that county's civilian veterans divided by its civilians 18 and over. The typical-county figure is the median of those 254 shares. Adding the shares and dividing by 254 would weight Loving County the same as Harris; the statewide 6.4 per cent weights each civilian 18 and over equally.
Veterans 65 and over are the sum of the published male and female 65-to-74 and 75-and-over veteran cells in B21001. Veterans 18 to 64 are the remainder. The Census published a figure for every Texas county. None of the 254 rows was suppressed.
ACS five-year estimates are a sample. Shares in the smallest counties move around more from one vintage to the next than shares in Harris or Dallas.
