What to do about a house in Iberia Parish

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

Across 575 square miles, under one square mile of Iberia Parish maps onto soluble rock. With about 67,540 residents (118 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 338 map points about 1.3 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
