How Old Is Frierson's Housing Stock?
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
Pre-1986 construction carries elevated plumbing-era lead risk because lead solder was widely used before that federal ban. In Frierson, the median build year of 1995 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Frierson were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Frierson: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Frierson, the equity impact of remediation is proportionally small - not the kind of financial commitment that rises to the level of a genuine planning constraint, but a minor share of what most properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Frierson are relatively low compared to home values. The $300–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 9% above the Louisiana average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Frierson
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.
Although citywide aggregate readings pass cleanly and just 30% of Frierson housing comes from the pre-rule era, the difference between what utilities sample and what arrives at one specific faucet remains a structural feature of how monitoring works. Households with kids in the home can find a certified lead-removal filter and a draw-test kit through retailer-verified channels. That step is independent of system-level data.
