Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Cecil (4 of 5 points) with Chewacla at one point. NRCS rates four points somewhat limited and one very limited, and lists flooding and a saturated zone as limiting features at that one point. The shallowest mapped water table is about 10 inches. Elevation is about 848 feet, gently rolling. Fairforest Creek runs 0.5 mile from the centre. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
Census counted 680 housing units in Fairforest in 2020. The 2020-2024 ACS estimates put the median year built at about 1976. For a place this small the margins on other shares are wide, so we leave out the owner, renter and mobile-home figures instead of guessing. What stays true for any house is that pumping, lid checks and an inspection before a sale protect the system.
