A video was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Travel with a Wiseguy’ some time ago, which is from the same city in America that we are discussing. This YouTuber named John Wise went to Loving County, the most isolated county in America, in January, the town of Mentone, USA is very unique in itself. Let us tell you that in America a county is called an area which is a group of some cities. It is smaller than a state and bigger than a city. John went to Mentone, a small town in Loving County, located in the western part of the state of Texas, where he made the video.
Population is 58 people
The city of Mentone was developed in 1931, reports the Daily Mail news website. In 1967, the population of the city was around 42. There was no water facility at that time. Apart from this there was no bank, no doctor, hospital, newspaper, lawyer, club or cemetery. Now water facility has been provided here, but the city is still untouched by other facilities.

Last year i.e. in 2022, the first cafe, Stop Cafe was opened here. You will be surprised to know that only 58 people live in this town. According to the World Population Review, the population is 58 but YouTubers show the population as 64 in the video. Many buildings have fallen into ruins while some in good condition remain vacant.
Highest median household income
There are no people in this city, but as you start approaching it, you will see big oil factories, machines and oil industry everywhere. According to Daily Mail, the city may have a very small population, but it has the highest per capita income in the country. This is only because of the oil industry. In the year 2021, the median household income across Loving County was up to Rs 95 lakh. Due to the industries present in this county, especially in the city of Mentone, the income of the people is very high. According to that people here are almost millionaires.
