Housing Age Profile
Construction dates in Gasquet center on a median of 2007, and the Census figures behind it describe when homes were built, not what materials they contain.
Most homes in Gasquet were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Gasquet
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 Gasquet ZIP codes come in under 10 micrograms per liter, that figure combines many 90th-percentile values and cannot describe one building, including the 22% of housing that predates 1986.
