How Old Is Jameson's Housing Stock?

Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Because the majority of Jameson's housing predates 1986, when lead solder was banned from new plumbing, the median build year of 1967 reflects a city where lead-era plumbing materials are common rather than exceptional.
Over half of homes in Jameson were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Protecting Children from Lead in Jameson
