Sinkhole Affected Parcels and Sinkhole Incidents For the Entire Florida
We are very excited to announce some of the recent improvements to the site.
1) Sinkholemaps.com Now Covers the Entire Florida
We have been working diligently on collecting sinkhole data and we are pleased to announce that we are now serving the entire Florida.
The sinkhole data is divided by Florida counties. We have also created a Florida City / Neighborhood page for users who want to get to these maps by city / neighborhood names.
Since sinkhole does not exist in the entire Florida only the counties with sinkhole issues are listed.
2) Updated Sinkhole Data Presentation
We recently updated how the sinkhole data is presented on the Florida county sinkhole maps.
The sinkhole data is now divided into “Sinkhole incidents” and “Sinkhole affected parcels”.
Sinkhole Incidents – sinkholes found anywhere (could be in a middle of nowhere) and Latitude / Longitude is used to indicate their locations.
Sinkhole affected parcels – reported sinkholes found at properties and an address is associated with them.

3) Added Sinkhole “Data Source”
Since we collect data from multiple sources, we have added “Data Source” information to indicate where the data came from.

What is the difference between Sinkhole Affected Parcel and Sinkhole incident? Thank you.
Sinkhole Affected Parcels are reported sinkholes found at properties and an address is associated with them. Whereas Sinkhole incidents are sinkholes found anywhere (could be in a middle of nowhere) and Latitude / Longitude is used to indicate their locations.
