Housing Age Profile
Leslie's residential inventory spans multiple construction eras, with the median build year of 1998 landing in a zone where pre- and post-1986 homes are both well represented. That split matters because homes built before 1986 may contain lead-soldered copper joints - a plumbing practice banned that year - while those built before 1970 face the additional possibility of lead pipes in the service line. Whether a specific household sits on the older or newer end of this distribution is the primary variable shaping its individual exposure risk.
Most homes in Leslie were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Leslie
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.
Wherever 46% of local housing was built before solder rules changed - as is the case in Leslie - a faucet-level sample closes the gap that aggregate utility data cannot.
