What Hurst's Tower Density Means for Residents

With 9.8/mi², Hurst has moderate tower coverage. Some neighborhoods have multiple towers nearby while others have very few — and it shows in the data. Scores in Hurst range from 10 to 100, so your specific address matters a lot.

52

Hurst's RF exposure is rated Elevated

Many residents have elevated RF exposure from nearby towers. If you're concerned, search your address to see how your specific location compares and which towers are closest.

What This Means for You

RF exposure from cell towers drops sharply with distance. In Hurst, scores range from 10 to 100, which means your specific location matters more than the city average. Search your address to see what's nearby — especially which direction towers are from your bedrooms.

How Power Lines Affect Hurst Residents

Hurst has 50 transmission lines and 28 substations within 5 miles of the city center. ELF exposure drops off sharply with distance. Homes more than 500 meters from a transmission line or substation typically have very low ELF levels, while homes within a few hundred feet may experience noticeably higher exposure.

Substations Near Hurst

With 28 substations in the area, Hurst has significant power distribution infrastructure. These are the points where high-voltage power is stepped down for local use. Each one creates a localized ELF field — if you live within a few hundred meters of one, it likely contributes to your score. The map shows exactly where they are.

29

Hurst's ELF exposure is rated Low

Most residents are far enough from high-voltage infrastructure that ELF isn't a major concern. Homes directly adjacent to power lines may still want to check their specific score.

RF vs ELF in Hurst: Cell towers have a somewhat bigger impact than power lines in Hurst (RF: 52, ELF: 29), though both contribute meaningfully. Checking your address shows which sources are most relevant to your specific location.

What This Means for You

Unlike cell tower RF, which is spread across many towers, ELF exposure is very location-specific. You could live a few blocks from a power line and barely notice it in your score, or live right next to one and see a significant impact. Check your address to see if any are close enough to affect your home.
