Housing Age Profile
With a median build year of 1982, Seeley Lake's housing stock reflects a city built across multiple eras. A substantial share of homes predate 1986 - the year lead solder in plumbing was federally banned - meaning the risk from plumbing materials is unevenly distributed across the city's neighborhoods and property types.
Most homes in Seeley Lake were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Seeley Lake: 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.
Even where utility-side monitoring meets Lead and Copper Rule requirements, the 48% pre-rule share in Seeley Lake keeps interior-plumbing variation as a household-level question that aggregate data cannot resolve.
