Soil and ground
Relief is about 141 feet within a mile, from 549 to 690 feet, so hilly. NRCS rates 4 of 5 sampled points very limited for septic absorption fields. Mapped soils in the area are Cecil and Pacolet, mostly eroded clay loam on slopes up to 25 percent, plus one Chewacla point with a water table at 10 inches. None of this is a property evaluation, only generalized survey data. Individual lots differ, so each one needs a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 102 housing units in Central Pacolet. In 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home dates to about 1967. The before-1980 share, owner share and mobile-home share all have margins too wide to quote for a town this small. With so few homes, one tank in poor shape can be most of the story, so records matter.
