How Old Is Crandall'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
The story of Crandall's housing stock is one of layered development — neighborhoods built in different decades, each carrying the plumbing standards of their era. The median build year of 1996 reflects that layered character. Before 1986, lead solder was standard in copper plumbing; before 1970, lead pipes were commonly used for service lines. A substantial portion of the pre-1986 homes visible in the distribution above still carry the plumbing materials of those earlier standards — creating a risk environment that the city-wide aggregate water data doesn't fully capture.
Most homes in Crandall were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Crandall: Remediation Cost in Perspective
What does remediation cost in financial context for Crandall 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 Crandall are relatively low compared to home values. The $400–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 45% below the Georgia average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Crandall
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.
Older stock in Crandall represents 31% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level — making an in-home read a standard household-level step.
