Kinney County, TX's soil, for a septic absorption field
Very limited
98.4% of Kinney County, TX's surveyed soil comes back "Very limited" in USDA's own SSURGO data, the county's dominant condition for a septic absorption field. Practically, that rules out a simple gravity system for most of the county - 98.4% of it sits in USDA's most-constrained bucket. Kinney County, TX is 1,360.533 square miles with a population of 3,191.
What Kinney County's reading doesn't cover
Two lots a mile apart in Kinney County can carry different soil, even though they share one countywide rating. A local percolation test, typically $750-$1,850 (around $1,300 typical), is the only way to know what one lot in Kinney County will actually do.
What a system would cost here
With 98.4% of Kinney County rating "Very limited", a standard gravity system is not a safe assumption here. The engineered-system range, $10,000-$40,000 (mound or aerobic treatment), is the more realistic number to plan around, against $3,000-$8,000 for a conventional system on the rare lot that passes.
Where this sits nationally
