Housing Age Profile

Construction dates in Wesley Chapel center on a median of 2005, and the Census figures behind it describe when homes were built, not what materials they contain.

2005

Median Year Built

Pre-1970 (Lead Pipes Risk)

Pre-1970 (3%) 1970–1986 (8%) Post-1986 (89%)

Most homes in Wesley Chapel were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Wesley Chapel

mg/L average of reported water-system 90th-percentile lead results (the 0.015 action level applies to each system's result, not to this average)

Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.

For families with young children in Wesley Chapel, two area figures are available: pre-1986 construction at about 11%, and a mean of the ZIP codes' 90th-percentile lead results under 0.010 mg/L. Testing water from the tap a child drinks from gives a home-specific result.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Wesley Chapel

243

Total FEMA Flood Claims

Avg Reported Sum With Payment Data

67%

A/V Share of Claim-Record ZIPs

Historical NFIP data for Wesley Chapel contains 243 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $30,333. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 67% 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 $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.
