About Amarillo
HPRA shareholder radiologists live and work in Amarillo, a thriving city of 250,000 located in the Texas Panhandle. On Interstate 40, Amarillo lies halfway between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is the largest city and a historic stop on Route 66.

Amarillo offers residents a dense suburban feel, and most own their homes. The cost of living in Amarillo is 16% lower than the national average. The city's history is deeply embedded in cowboy culture and mythology since many of the residents are descendants of 19th-century ranchers who settled there when the city boomed as a cattle market.
