Housing & Infrastructure in Fredonia
With 47% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Lead solder was a standard plumbing material before 1986, when federal law prohibited its use in new residential construction. In Fredonia, the median build year of 1982 indicates that plumbing age is a material factor in local lead risk — with the pre-1986 share concentrated in specific neighborhoods and building types where older construction remains common.
Most homes in Fredonia were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Fredonia Homeowners
Equity impact data for Fredonia lands in the favorable tier — remediation claims a small slice of what properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Fredonia are relatively low compared to home values. The $150–$1,400 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 27% below the Arizona average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Fredonia
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.
Older interior plumbing shapes the local picture: 47% of Fredonia homes predate the federal solder ban, and aggregate sampling either approaches or crosses the action benchmark. That mix makes a single-home draw a standard pre-purchase or pre-occupancy step.
