Ellerslie Infrastructure Age
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
Newer construction dominates Ellerslie's residential inventory, as reflected in a median build year of 1992. The practical implication is that lead-soldered copper plumbing joints - a pre-1986 standard now federally prohibited - are an exception rather than the rule in this city, though they remain present in the older fraction of the housing stock.
Most homes in Ellerslie were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Ellerslie: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Whenever aggregate samples pass the federal action benchmark and pre-rule housing - 26% in Ellerslie - represents a smaller fraction, lead occupies a lower priority on the local picture.
