Protecting Children from Lead in Youngsville

20%

Homes Built Before 1986

0.008

mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Through the multi-year window of EPA Lead and Copper Rule monitoring, Youngsville has stayed under the action mark. Paired with a 20% pre-rule housing share, the result places lead in a lower-priority spot on the local picture - without erasing the structural gap between citywide averages and what arrives at one specific tap.
