Homes in Anson, by the numbers

Anson has about 1,300 homes, and very few are new. The Census estimate puts only about 4% of them in 2000 or later, the lowest share of any town on this site.

MEDIAN YEAR BUILT1959±5 years
BUILT BEFORE 196052%±12 points
BUILT 1960–199944%±11 points
BUILT 2000 OR LATER4%±4 points

About half of Anson's houses are older than 1960, and the town's median house dates from 1959, more than 15 years before Abilene's.

In a town where nearly every house is decades old, a past repair is worth knowing about. The ASCE Texas guidelines note that earlier foundation repairs can change the elevation pattern a survey picks up, so mention any work you know of.

What to keep an eye on in a Anson home

Tell us what kind of house you have and we'll show what a survey usually focuses on.

Foundation
Roughly when was it built?
Pier & beam · older homeSURVEY FOCUS
  1. 01Shims and wood posts in the crawl spaceShims compress and wood can soften over time, so floors drift out of level.
  2. 02Bouncy or sagging floorsOften a beam or joist that needs extra support, not the whole foundation.
  3. 03Crawl space moisture and ventilationStanding water or damp soil under the house speeds up the problems above.
  4. 04Earlier repairsOlder homes may already have piers or shims from past work. The survey checks whether they still hold.

General guidance. Every house is different, which is what the survey is for.

Anson questions

How far north of Abilene is Anson?

About 24 miles on US 83/277, passing through Hawley on the way.

What is an elevation survey, exactly?

A set of floor-height readings taken across the house with a precision level. Comparing the high and low points shows whether the foundation has moved, and in which direction.

Is there a best time of year for a survey?

Any season works. Readings taken in a dry spell and again after heavy rain can show how much the soil moves through the year.
