Housing & Infrastructure in Iona
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
Some cities skew heavily toward one construction era; Iona does not. The median build year of 2007 reflects a housing stock where older and newer homes share the market in meaningful proportions. That mixed profile means the city carries moderate aggregate plumbing-era risk - with older homes, particularly those built before 1986, representing the portion of the stock where lead-soldered joints may still be present.
Most homes in Iona were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Iona Homeowners
Low proportionality - that's the Iona picture when remediation costs are placed against typical home equity.
Remediation costs in Iona are relatively low compared to home values. The $300–$2,300 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 11% above the Idaho average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Iona
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.
38% of Iona housing dates to the pre-rule era, alongside aggregate readings hovering at the federal action mark - household-level confirmation through a draw-test kit fits the local picture.
