Housing & Infrastructure in Laclede
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
Lead solder was a standard plumbing material before 1986, when federal law prohibited its use in new residential construction. In Laclede, the median build year of 2007 indicates that plumbing age is a material factor in local lead risk - with the pre-1986 share concentrated in specific neighborhoods and building types where older construction remains common.
Most homes in Laclede were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Laclede Homeowners
Equity impact data for Laclede lands in the favorable tier - remediation claims a small slice of what properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Laclede are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,600–$3,300 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 1% above the Idaho average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Laclede
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.
Since the federal solder ban took effect, new plumbing has been built without that pathway, and Laclede's pre-rule stock at 30% reflects a contained footprint.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Laclede
Historical NFIP data for Laclede contains 1 flood insurance claim. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $6,701. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 100% 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 <strong>$2,400</strong> 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.
