Housing Age Profile
For a city with a median build year of 2006, Saverton carries a housing profile that straddles the 1986 federal ban on lead solder in plumbing. Neither predominantly new nor predominantly old, the stock presents a moderate aggregate risk environment — with individual risk varying sharply depending on when and where a specific home was built.
Most homes in Saverton were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Saverton
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.
Aggregate sampling rests beneath the federal action threshold here, while only 30% of Saverton housing predates the solder rule change.
