Copper
Likely Pipe Material

With 69% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).

Housing Age Profile

For residents trying to assess tap water risk in Moss Point, the median build year of 1975 is the starting context. It signals that a majority of homes were constructed before 1986 - the year federal rules prohibited lead solder in new plumbing - and that a significant share likely predates 1970, when lead pipes were still a common choice for residential service connections. Neither risk tier is rare in this housing inventory.

Over half of homes in Moss Point were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Moss Point: Remediation Cost in Perspective

At current valuations, Moss Point falls in the moderate remediation-share tier - a level where treating this as a budgeted line item rather than an ad-hoc expense is the practical approach.

Median Home Value
$158,100
Est. Remediation
$2,100
Remediation as % of home value 1.3%

Remediation costs are moderate relative to home values in Moss Point. The estimated $1,350–$3,100 range is manageable for most homeowners but still worth budgeting for. Home values are 24% above the Mississippi average.

Protecting Children from Lead in Moss Point

69%
Homes Built Before 1986
0.0033
mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

Before the federal solder ban, lead solder was a routine plumbing material, and 69% of the Moss Point inventory was built in that earlier era - a share large enough to move household-level reads onto the standard list.

A/V Share of Claim-Record ZIPs

How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies. Even after floodwaters recede, contamination can persist in wells and aging infrastructure. The <strong>$2,100</strong> remediation estimate shown here excludes flood insurance and is not derived from NFIP claim count.

Claim count does not establish current property risk. Check the exact address in FEMA's current map and obtain a property-specific insurance quote when relevant.
