Housing Age Profile
Because the majority of Wilsonville's housing predates 1986, when lead solder was banned from new plumbing, the median build year of 1943 reflects a city where lead-era plumbing materials are common rather than exceptional.
Over half of homes in Wilsonville were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Wilsonville: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Given current Wilsonville valuations, the remediation-to-property-value ratio is low - most homeowners are looking at a proportionally modest share that fits within routine financial planning.
Remediation costs in Wilsonville are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 51% below the Illinois average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Wilsonville
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.
After the federal action removing lead-bearing solder from new plumbing took effect, building practice shifted - but 88% of the Wilsonville inventory predates that line. With aggregate samples near or beyond 0.015 mg/L, an in-home check moves out of the optional column into the standard list.
