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 Villa Grove, the median build year of 2009 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Villa Grove were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Villa Grove Homeowners
What does remediation cost in financial context for Villa Grove homeowners? Proportionally very little - the equity share here is low, and addressing documented issues is a manageable planning question rather than a material financial burden.
Remediation costs in Villa Grove are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 3% above the Colorado average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Villa Grove
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.
Even where utility-side monitoring meets Lead and Copper Rule requirements, the 39% pre-rule share in Villa Grove keeps interior-plumbing variation as a household-level question that aggregate data cannot resolve.
