What to do about a house in Medina County

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

Across 421 square miles, under one square mile of Medina County maps onto soluble rock. With about 184,625 residents (438 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 331 map points about 1.1 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
