Clancy Infrastructure Age
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Lead solder was a standard plumbing material before 1986, when federal law prohibited its use in new residential construction. In Clancy, the median build year of 1995 indicates that plumbing age is a material factor in local lead risk - with the pre-1986 share concentrated in specific neighborhoods and building types where older construction remains common.
Most homes in Clancy were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

How Remediation Costs Compare in Clancy
At current valuations, Clancy sits in the low remediation-share tier - the equity impact of fixing documented issues is proportionally minor.
Remediation costs in Clancy are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 69% above the Montana average.
Clancy: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
34% - that captures the slice of Clancy housing dating from before the federal ban on solder containing lead. It pairs with aggregate utility readings that either approach or cross 0.015 mg/L, the benchmark set under the EPA Lead and Copper Rule. Together, the two figures shift one-home reads into a standard household-level confirmation, particularly for families with kids. A certified lead-removal filter is available through retailer-verified channels if a kit returns results that warrant additional measures.
