The city is located on Interstate 35, the main North-South interstate through Texas that extends from Mexico to Canada. Temple is a principal city in the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has an estimated population of 428,300. Direct access to I-35 positions Temple within 180 miles of 80% of Texas’ population. It has all the advantages of a strong supporting infrastructure without the problems associated with urban environments, higher costs, too-rapid growth, and difficult construction climate."
