No soluble bedrock is mapped here, so natural sinkholes are unlikely. Collapses from broken pipes or old mines are a separate risk.

Across 798 square miles, under one square mile of Angelina County maps onto soluble rock. With about 88,094 residents (110 per square mile), homes are spread across towns and farmland, and a mapped unit may or may not reach the developed parts. The figures come from 509 map points about 1.3 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
