Housing & Infrastructure in University
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile
Since 1986, federal law has prohibited lead solder in new residential plumbing. With a median build year of 1995, much of University's housing falls on the safer side of that line - though homes built before 1986 still warrant testing regardless of the city-wide profile.
Most homes in University were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
