This means it's an area that the government counts for population, but it's not officially a city or town with its own local government. The "II" helps tell it apart from another place called Las Palmas in a different county.
In 2010, about 1,605 people lived here. By 2020, the population was 891. Before 2010, Las Palmas II was part of a larger area called Las Palmas-Juarez. It is also part of the larger Brownsville–Harlingen metropolitan area, which is a big urban region.
