AR
Aransas county is one of three counties that make up
the Corpus Christi metro area. The number of business
establishments has fluctuated along with the local economy,
reaching its peak in 2007. Business conditions appear to
have stabilized since 2011. The majority of businesses are
in the service sector, such as accommodation and food
services, and retail trade. As such, most businesses are quite
small, with 13 employees on average. Relatively to other
U.S. counties, Aransas County has relatively high industry
diversity, but its employment is rather concentrated among
fewer occupations.

Review of South Texas Business Conditions
ANSAS COU NTY
The industry landscape of Aransas County has remained
quite steady. A clear positive relationship exists between the
relative employment sizes of individual industries (location
quotients) and the relative growth of those industries over
time (shift-share ratios). Retail trade, real estate, and oil
and gas extraction all have a high location quotient and
shift share.
