Population from U.S. Census ACS 5-year tract estimates aggregated to county · flood from FEMA NFHL · contamination from EPA Superfund and state brownfields · generated 2026-10-07.
What the numbers mean for a buyer
Population is up 30.7% since 2010 — steady growth rather than a boom. Ag-exemption rollback is the thing buyers most often miss in these counties: land that has carried an agricultural valuation for years can trigger several years of back taxes when the use changes.
TerraIQs carries 4,085 scored parcels across Andrews County's 1,501 square miles — about 3 per square mile. That profile is large working tracts rather than subdivided lots, so soil, water and legal access carry most of the value.
Flood risk in Andrews County
Our current FEMA extract shows no mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas in Andrews County. Read that precisely: it means detailed DFIRM flood mapping has not been published for this area, which is common in sparsely populated counties — it is not a finding that the land doesn't flood. For an unmapped county a report leans on terrain and slope analysis instead, and a local floodplain administrator is worth a call.

There are 6 recorded contamination sites in Andrews County (EPA Superfund and state brownfields). A report measures your parcel's distance to each, which is what matters if you plan to put in a water well or anything involving soil disturbance.

What due diligence in Andrews County involves
The county-level numbers above tell you what to expect; they don't settle any individual parcel. The checks that decide a deal — legal access, title exceptions, mineral severance, septic suitability, agricultural valuation rollback — are parcel-specific and partly document-based. Our Texas land due diligence checklist walks the full sequence in the order we'd run it, including which steps are free and which are worth paying for.
In Andrews County specifically, note that pipeline crossings are common across Texas and are invisible from the road — pipeline easements restrict where you can build permanently.

Our current FEMA extract shows no mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas in Andrews County, which means detailed DFIRM mapping has not been published there — not that the land doesn't flood. A parcel report falls back to terrain and slope analysis.
Flood zones, pipeline and utility proximity, contamination site distance, water well records, NRCS soil and septic suitability, slope and terrain, zoning where it exists, infrastructure, protected areas, critical habitat, road access with traffic counts, and population growth context — each with its source dataset version and retrieval date.
