Housing Age Profile
Reading the housing data for Glen Allan, with a median build year of 2009, reveals a community where neither old nor new construction dominates. That balanced profile means lead-solder-era plumbing is present throughout a meaningful portion of the residential inventory - with risk concentrated in properties built before 1986 and most acute in those that predate 1970.
Most homes in Glen Allan were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
