What to do about a house in Victoria County

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

Across 882 square miles, under one square mile of Victoria County maps onto soluble rock. With about 91,949 residents (104 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 526 map points about 1.3 miles apart, so a pocket smaller than that can be missed or overstated.
