Housing Age Profile
Two regulatory milestones define plumbing-era risk in residential housing: 1970, when lead pipes were still commonly installed for service lines, and 1986, when lead solder was banned from new copper plumbing. A median build year of 2009 places Coalmont in the middle zone between those thresholds - with a meaningful share of housing predating both cutoffs. The distribution shown above breaks out those eras explicitly, clarifying where concentrated risk sits across the residential inventory.
A significant portion of Coalmont's housing stock predates 1970, when lead pipes were commonly used. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Coalmont
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.
Pulling a tap sample fills the gap that utility data cannot close, particularly here where 44% of housing dates from the pre-rule era and citywide monitoring sits at or above the regulatory mark in Coalmont.
