What to do about a house in Hart County

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

Across 232 square miles, under one square mile of Hart County maps onto soluble rock. With about 28,052 residents (121 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 275 map points about 0.9 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
