Housing & Infrastructure in Romance
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
For most of Romance's housing stock, construction occurred after 1986 - when lead solder in plumbing was federally prohibited. The median build year of 1991 broadly reflects that newer profile.
Most homes in Romance were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Romance
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Where pre-rule stock represents a smaller fraction of the inventory - 17% across Romance - the structural drivers of household exposure run thinner. Aggregate readings under the federal benchmark reinforce that picture, with one-home draws remaining the only direct measurement for a specific address.
