Dover 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
Whether your home in Dover was built before or after 1986 matters more than the citywide median of 2005, because the 1986 federal lead restrictions cover plumbing installed after that point.
Most homes in Dover were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Dover: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Two pieces of area data frame lead for Dover families. First, the average of ZIP-level 90th-percentile lead results is 0.010 mg/L or higher. Second, census figures put homes built before 1986, which are more likely to contain lead pipes, fixtures or solder, at about 21% of the housing stock. Neither figure measures a particular home, so a certified lab test of the tap water is the step that shows the lead level there.

Dover: NFIP Claim Records and Water-Quality Context
Historical NFIP data for Dover contains 1 flood insurance claim. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $10,759. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The $300 remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.
Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
