Gregg County's sample shows a different ground. In a sample of 49 points across an area about 21 miles wide around the centre of the county, only 2 sat on soil rated high or very high for shrink-swell. The commonest soil series were Cuthbert at 16 points, Bowie at 13 points and Kirvin at 4 points. For a homeowner weighing foundation repair in Gregg County, that means most of the area sampled is not on soil rated high for shrink-swell.
A sample is not an address, and it does not speak for every town or street in the county. Water is the other factor to check. In the same sample, 6 of 49 land points sit inside the 1% annual chance floodplain, and standing water beside a foundation keeps the soil under it wet. FEMA's flood map shows the zone at your own address.
The median home in Gregg County was built in 1980. Of all homes, 16.0% were built before 1960 and 30.9% in 1990 or later. Foundation type is not a census question. Across Texas, pier and beam turns up more in older houses and slab more in newer ones, so find out which yours is.
