The ground here matters to anyone deciding what to do about a crack or a sticking door. In a sample of 25 points around the centre of Abilene, 8 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell, and 1 of those was very high. Sagerton was the commonest soil series at 8 points, then Mangum at 4 and Hamby at 3. Clay in the high classes swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and that lifts and drops slabs and piers. The sample describes the area around the centre, not a particular street.

Water near the house adds to the picture. 6 of the 25 land points in the same sample sit inside the mapped floodplain. The figure is a sample of the area, so a homeowner should look up their own lot on FEMA's flood map. Water that pools beside the house keeps the clay below it soaked.
