Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Ingleside

61%

Homes Built Before 1986

When older housing represents 61% 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 Ingleside address.
