How Old Is Groveland's Housing Stock?
With 47% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. Federal law banned lead solder in drinking-water plumbing in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Homes on the same street in Groveland can differ: one may keep original pre-1986 plumbing while another has been replumbed, so the 1998 median is only a starting point.
Most homes in Groveland were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Groveland: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Estimated remediation for Groveland is a small fraction of median property value - one percent or less - though the ratio does not describe any single household.
Estimated remediation costs in Groveland can be compared with local home values. The $300–$800 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 21% above the Illinois average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Groveland
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.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.
