Key Contaminants Detected in Pea Ridge
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Pea Ridge's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Construction dates in Pea Ridge center on a median of 1992, and the Census figures behind it describe when homes were built, not what materials they contain.
Most homes in Pea Ridge were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Pea Ridge
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
While lead results averaged over Pea Ridge ZIP codes come in under 10 micrograms per liter, that figure combines many 90th-percentile values and cannot describe one building, including the 29% of housing that predates 1986.
