How Old Is Wing's Housing Stock?
With 86% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
The median home in Wing was built in 1969 — a figure that places most of the city's residential stock in the era when lead solder was still standard in copper plumbing. Homes built before 1986 may have lead-soldered joints; those built before 1970 face the additional possibility of lead pipes in the service line itself.
Over half of homes in Wing were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Wing: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Wing, the equity impact of remediation is proportionally small — not the kind of financial commitment that rises to the level of a genuine planning constraint, but a minor share of what most properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Wing are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 12% below the North Dakota average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Wing
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.
In recent monitoring under the Lead and Copper Rule, citywide samples for Wing have approached or crossed the regulatory action level on multiple occasions. Combined with 86% of stock dating from the pre-rule era, the picture supports baseline single-tap reads as a standard household-level step.
