Housing Age Profile

Housing age is a rough starting point, not an answer. North Las Vegas has a median build year of 1998, but any single home may be older or newer than that figure, may have had plumbing replaced, or may still have original fixtures. Lead can also come from a service line or older brass fittings, so a water test or a check of the utility's service line inventory says more about one address than the citywide build year does.

Pre-1970 (Lead Pipes Risk)

Pre-1970 (7%) 1970–1986 (7%) Post-1986 (86%)

Most homes in North Las Vegas were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

North Las Vegas: Remediation Cost in Perspective

Because the median home value in North Las Vegas is large relative to the estimated cost of remediation, the ratio between them stays at or below 1%; that is a statement about two area-level numbers, not a quote for a particular house or a judgment about what an owner can pay.

Protecting Children from Lead in North Las Vegas

Homes Built Before 1986

0.0023

mg/L average of reported water-system 90th-percentile lead results (the 0.015 action level applies to each system's result, not to this average)

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.

Pre-1986 construction accounts for about 14% of North Las Vegas homes; older plumbing in any of them can still add lead at the tap.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for North Las Vegas

8

Total FEMA Flood Claims

$18,961

Avg Reported Sum With Payment Data

67%

A/V Share of Claim-Record ZIPs

Historical NFIP data for North Las Vegas contains 8 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $18,961. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 67% 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 $300 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.
