Cities and places in Webb.

40 Census places lie wholly or partly in Webb County. 32 carry enough published place level data for a page of their own and are linked. The rest are named here and not linked, because the American Community Survey and the SBA record between them do not carry enough about them to write an honest page. A place existing is itself worth knowing, so nothing in the county is left out.

A further 1 of the county's 138 SBA 7(a) approvals are to borrowers in cities that match no Census place in Webb County, the largest being Houston (1). Those are postal cities, unincorporated areas and cities outside the county, so no place row claims them; they are counted in the county total above.
