  COMMUNITY PROFILE / LOCATION

With a population of more than 1.3 million people, San Antonio is the seventh-largest city in the nation and the fastest growing city in Texas. The city has always been a meeting place for new opportunities and growth, with nearly 25 million visitors a year.

San Antonio has a unique position centrally located between the east and west coasts, and to other cities across the United States, Mexico, Canada, Central America and South America. North/South and East / West interstate highways connect San Antonio to the major Texas population centers and to primary border crossing points into Mexico, all 150 miles away including Laredo, Del Rio, Eagle Pass and the ports at Corpus Christi and Houston. Because of this combination of ideal location and quality infrastructure, more than 50 percent of the total goods flowing between the U.S. and Mexico travel through San Antonio before reaching their final destination. In addition, air service from San Antonio is frequent, with many non-stop daily flights to numerous points in Mexico.
