Key Contaminants Detected in Parkton
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Parkton's Housing Stock?
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
When a home in Parkton was built matters for lead because federal rules adopted in 1986 limited how much lead new plumbing could contain; the local median build year is 1994. A median sits in the middle of a range, so some homes are older and some newer, and past repairs may have changed the pipes in either group. A plumber can identify the materials inside a home, and a lab test measures what reaches the tap.
Most homes in Parkton were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Parkton: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Parkton, estimated remediation comes to 1% or less of the median home value.
Estimated remediation costs in Parkton can be compared with local home values. The $550–$1,400 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 36% below the North Carolina average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Parkton
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures or solder, and census figures put that share of Parkton housing at about 30%. The lead figure used here, an average of ZIP-level 90th-percentile results, sits under 0.010 mg/L. Neither number shows what flows from a particular family's faucet; a test of that faucet is the only direct measure.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Parkton
Historical NFIP data for Parkton contains 11 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $20,830. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
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 $900 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.
