Homes in Tuscola, by the numbers
Tuscola has about 360 homes by the Census estimate, and a lot of them are recent: roughly four in ten were built in 2000 or later. Only Potosi has a higher share on this site.
In Abilene, the same survey puts that share at about 19%, so Tuscola has seen far more new building, relative to its size, than the city. The older part of town is still there too, with about a third of homes from before 1960.
With old and new side by side, the median build year (1984, ±13) doesn't describe a typical house. Use the watch-list below to see what a survey looks at for a home of your age and foundation type.

Your house, your watch-list
What to keep an eye on in a Tuscola home
Tell us what kind of house you have and we'll show what a survey usually focuses on.
- 01Shims and wood posts in the crawl spaceShims compress and wood can soften over time, so floors drift out of level.
- 02Bouncy or sagging floorsOften a beam or joist that needs extra support, not the whole foundation.
- 03Crawl space moisture and ventilationStanding water or damp soil under the house speeds up the problems above.
- 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.

Tuscola questions
Which highway runs from Abilene to Tuscola?
US 83. It shares the road with US 84 for part of the way south of Abilene, and US 84 splits off toward Lawn just northeast of Tuscola.
Is Lawn covered too?
Yes. Lawn is just to the southeast on US 84 and has its own page.
Will foundation repair damage my plumbing?
It shouldn't, but lifting a slab can stress old pipes. Many contractors suggest a plumbing check before and after slab work so any leak is caught early.
