Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile

Cities with large shares of pre-1986 housing carry elevated aggregate risk from lead-soldered plumbing; Statham sits on the lower end of that spectrum. The median build year of 2008 reflects a housing stock in which post-ban construction is dominant — meaning lead-soldered copper joints are less prevalent across the city as a whole. Still, aggregate figures don't tell you what's happening inside a specific older home. Any structure built before 1986, and particularly those built before 1970 when lead pipes were commonly installed, can still present meaningful lead risk regardless of the city-wide picture.

Most homes in Statham were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Reading aggregate data alone gives a clean picture for Statham — system samples below the federal action mark and 25% pre-rule housing — yet that math averages many service connections. A one-tap draw gives the only direct read for a specific home.
