Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Cecil at 4 of 5 points, the fifth on water. NRCS rates two points somewhat limited and two very limited, citing slow water movement and slope. Elevation is about 857 feet, gently rolling. The Middle Tyger River runs about 0.3 mile from the town centre, and FEMA maps show a mapped flood zone within about 0.3 mile. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.

The 2020 Census counted 1,715 housing units in Duncan. In the 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home was built about 2001, and about 26 percent of homes predate 1980. Roughly 57 percent are owner-occupied and about 7 percent are mobile homes. Whether a house is new or old, its tank still needs pumping on a schedule set by household size and tank size, and the lids checked now and then.
Duncan questions
Do wet-weather problems matter near the Middle Tyger River?
The Middle Tyger River runs about 0.3 mile from the town centre, and FEMA maps show a mapped flood zone within about 0.3 mile. In general, homes in or near mapped zones can have high water tables that soak a drain field after heavy rain. A map cannot judge one yard, so a site visit is the way to know.
What do the mapped soils around Duncan mean for a drain field?
Mapped Cecil soils carry NRCS ratings of somewhat limited to very limited because water moves slowly through the clay under the sandy loam surface, and slope adds to it at two points. That is area-wide survey data. Whether a given lot suits a drain field takes a site evaluation.
