What Love County, OK's soil rates for a septic system

Very limited

In Love County, OK, 71.6% of the surveyed land carries a "Very limited" rating for a standard septic drain field. Practically, that rules out a simple gravity system for most of the county - 71.6% of it sits in USDA's most-constrained bucket. Love County, OK is 513.914 square miles with a population of 10,423.

What Love County's reading doesn't cover

Nothing about Love County, OK's SSURGO figure applies to a specific address - it's a county-wide average. A local percolation test, typically $750-$1,850 (around $1,300 typical), is the only way to know what one lot in Love County will actually do.

What a system would cost here

With 71.6% of Love 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

Nationally, Love County, OK is the 2,420-most-constrained of 3,058 rated counties for septic soil. Within Oklahoma alone it ranks 64 of 77.
