Housing Age Profile
Remodels change the picture: a 1993 median in Organ says nothing about pipes swapped out or repaired since construction.
Most homes in Organ were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Organ: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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 Organ housing at about 5%. 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.
