Is this McMullen, McCulloch, or McLennan?
McCulloch. This is how you know that you have too many counties
It's McMullen after all. So the the three big losers in Texas (King, McMullen, and Loving) are all sparsely populated. King in the NW part of the state is surrounded by lots of other losing counties (no water, no oil => no people). McMullen is in south Texas. All ranches. Tilden has a cemetery in the town square named Boot Hill.
Boot Hill Ironically, Loving is surrounded by 3 fast growing counties (17th, 29th, and 30th). The top 10 in Texas are all suburban, but then you start getting into some counties with oil booms, including Ward, Winkler, and Pecos.
