Housing & Infrastructure in Saint Johns
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
Housing age matters for water quality because lead solder was widely used in plumbing until the 1986 federal ban. Saint Johns's median build year of 2003 suggests a majority of homes were constructed under the newer standard - a meaningful factor when assessing household-level lead risk from tap water.
Most homes in Saint Johns were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Saint Johns Homeowners
Because property values in Saint Johns comfortably exceed estimated remediation costs, the equity impact here is proportionally small.
Remediation costs in Saint Johns are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,500–$3,300 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 42% above the Florida average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Saint Johns
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.
Locally, Saint Johns's indicators line up: aggregate readings pass under the regulatory benchmark and the pre-rule housing footprint at 10% keeps lead in a background position.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Saint Johns
Historical NFIP data for Saint Johns contains 109 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $62,269. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The <strong>$2,300</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
