What Frisco's numbers say about plumbing
Frisco is one of the fastest-growing Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs tracked here: 236,955 people (2025 estimate), up 18.2% since 2020[2]. The city spans 68.6 square miles at 3,453 residents per square mile (the 7th densest) and spans Collin County and Denton County, served by ZIP codes 75035, 75033, 75034, 75036[3].
With 47% of homes built since 2010 and 2% before 1980[1], Frisco's plumbing runs from brand-new supply lines and fixtures to aging pipe, original valves and water heaters past their rated life.
Frisco is split across 4 ZIP codes: 75035 (35% of the city's land), 75033 (31% of the city's land), 75034 (23% of the city's land), 75036 (9% of the city's land)[7].
The tracked suburbs closest by are Plano (8.4 mi SE), Allen (9.2 mi E) and McKinney (9.7 mi E)[3].
2% of Frisco's 80,353 housing units predate 1980 and 47% went up in 2010 or later[1] — the lowest pre-1980 share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Plano (18%), Allen (7%), and McKinney (8%) predate 1980. New-construction problems are usually fittings, supply lines, water-heater installs and drain slopes, not worn-out pipe.
The biggest single slice — 40% — was built 2010 to 2019, and the median home dates to 2009[1]. Neighbours from the same era tend to hit the same plumbing problems at the same time.
Freeze risk: the collin forecast zone logged 14 winter-storm, ice or hard-freeze days in 2016–2025, including February 2021; the latest was Feb 18, 2025[4].
Water from the sky is plumbing work too: 17 flood or flash-flood reports within 10 miles over 2016–2025[4], and FEMA logged 32 flood-insurance claims across Frisco's ZIPs[5]. Homes that take water need working drainage, sump pumps and backflow prevention.
54% of homes heat with utility gas, and 34% of households rent[1].
Among the 15 suburbs tracked here, Frisco stands out for the lowest pre-1980 housing share (2%)[1], the newest housing (by median year built) (2009)[1], the highest share of homes built since 2010 (47%)[1], and the 3rd-highest gas-heat share (54%)[1].
