Housing Age Profile
For residents trying to assess tap water risk in Chaseley, the median build year of 1954 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 Chaseley were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Chaseley Homeowners
Setting Chaseley remediation figures against its property market, the resulting ratio sits comfortably in the low tier - a classification that reflects the kind of household financial position where most homeowners can identify documented issues, schedule the work, and absorb the cost without it registering as a significant budget disruption.
Remediation costs in Chaseley are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 13% below the North Dakota average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Chaseley
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 86% of the Chaseley inventory was built in that earlier era - a share large enough to move household-level reads onto the standard list.
