Housing Age Profile
Homes on the same street in Creighton can differ: one may keep original pre-1986 plumbing while another has been replumbed, so the 1981 median is only a starting point.
Most homes in Creighton were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Creighton
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.
