How Old Is Shiloh's Housing Stock?
With 58% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
Pre-1986 plumbing is not a rare legacy case in Shiloh — it's the dominant profile. The median build year of 1987 indicates a housing stock where lead-soldered copper joints are a common structural feature of residences across the city.
Over half of homes in Shiloh were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Shiloh: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Equity impact data for Shiloh lands in the favorable tier — remediation claims a small slice of what properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Shiloh are relatively low compared to home values. The $400–$1,600 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 24% below the Georgia average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Shiloh
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 interior plumbing shapes the local picture: 58% of Shiloh homes predate the federal solder ban, and aggregate sampling either approaches or crosses the action benchmark. That mix makes a single-home draw a standard pre-purchase or pre-occupancy step.
