Housing Age Profile
Whether your home in Saint Johns was built before or after 1986 matters more than the citywide median of 2003, because the 1986 federal lead restrictions cover plumbing installed after that point.
Most homes in Saint Johns were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Pre-1986 construction accounts for about 10% of Saint Johns homes; older plumbing in any of them can still add lead at the tap.

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 $500 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.
