Bell County has 76 dams in the federal inventory. The county's report-card score is driven by 40 high-hazard dams, 11 poor or unsatisfactory condition records, 1 high-hazard dams without a recorded Emergency Action Plan, and 20 high-hazard dams with blank or older inspection dates.

Interpretation: higher scores identify places where public records deserve closer review. The score does not predict failure probability and should be checked against official state and local dam-safety sources.
