Housing Age Profile

That balanced profile means lead-solder-era plumbing is present throughout a meaningful portion of the residential inventory - with risk concentrated in properties built before 1986 and most acute in those that predate 1970.
Most homes in Oregon House were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Wherever 44% of local housing was built before solder rules changed - as is the case in Oregon House - a faucet-level sample closes the gap that aggregate utility data cannot.
