Housing Age Profile
Heavily weighted toward older construction, Holland's housing stock carries a median build year of 1974. That profile puts a majority of homes in the era when lead-soldered copper plumbing was standard practice.
Over half of homes in Holland were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Holland Homeowners
Because property values in Holland comfortably exceed estimated remediation costs, the equity impact here is proportionally small.
Remediation costs in Holland are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 16% below the Indiana average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Holland
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.
When older housing represents 69% of the local inventory or aggregate readings approach the federal action level, an in-home check becomes the standard way to translate citywide averages into the specific reality of an individual Holland address.
