Fairview in numbers
| 2020 census population | 10,372 |
|---|---|
| Census Bureau estimate, July 2025 | 10,913 |
| Owner-occupied homes | 73.9% |
| Median owner-occupied home value | $597,300 |
| Land area | 8.9 square miles |
About 10,900 people on nearly 9 square miles works out to roughly 1,200 per square mile, against more than 3,500 in McKinney, by our arithmetic. Lower density generally means bigger lots, and a bigger house footprint can mean more piers if it ever needs them.
Creeks and drainage
Wilson Creek, a tributary of the East Fork of the Trinity River, forms part of the town's northeastern boundary. On sloped lots near creeks, drainage around the house deserves a close look before anyone recommends piers.
What the Town of Fairview publishes
The town's Building Permits page lists "Alteration and Repairs" among the work that needs a permit but doesn't name foundation repair specifically. Ask the town whether your repair needs a permit and an engineer: permits@fairviewtexas.org, inspection line 972-886-4250, 372 Town Place.
