Refreshed by the waters of Lewis Creek, McGraw Lake, Altita Creek, and several other lakes, streams, and creeks; this territory reports more than 1770 acres dedicated to farming lands. Construction, agriculture, educational services, mining, health care, and public administration industries constitute the very weak columns supporting the economy of this land ranked in the top 10 list of the poorest counties in American. Reporting a median household income of more than $21800 and a per capita income of $9700, this land has a lot of work ahead in order to give better life conditions to the 30% of families living under extreme poverty.
