Housing Age Profile
For a city with a median build year of 1983, Thompson Ridge carries a housing profile that straddles the 1986 federal ban on lead solder in plumbing. Neither predominantly new nor predominantly old, the stock presents a moderate aggregate risk environment - with individual risk varying sharply depending on when and where a specific home was built.
Most homes in Thompson Ridge were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Thompson Ridge: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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.
Wherever 47% of local housing was built before solder rules changed - as is the case in Thompson Ridge - a faucet-level sample closes the gap that aggregate utility data cannot.
