What to do about a house in Henry County

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

Across 319 square miles, under one square mile of Henry County maps onto soluble rock. With about 259,315 residents (814 per square mile), most of the county is built up, so a mapped unit is likely to sit under somebody's street. The figures come from 576 map points about 0.7 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.

Two things to read before deciding: how these percentages are measured, and the warning signs that apply anywhere.
