How Old Is Keenesburg'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
Pre-1986 construction carries elevated plumbing-era lead risk because lead solder was widely used before that federal ban. In Keenesburg, the median build year of 1996 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Keenesburg were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Keenesburg: Remediation Cost in Perspective
At current valuations, Keenesburg sits in the low remediation-share tier - the equity impact of fixing documented issues is proportionally minor.
Remediation costs in Keenesburg are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 1% above the Colorado average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Keenesburg
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.
Routinely in Keenesburg, where 38% of housing predates the solder ban and aggregate utility readings hover near the federal threshold, a faucet-level draw functions as a standard household step for families with small kids.
