Housing Age Profile
Viewed through the lens of construction era, Freeport has a median build year of 1975; houses completed ahead of 1986 can hold lead-bearing solder or fittings.
Over half of homes in Freeport were built before 1986, when federal law began restricting lead solder in drinking-water plumbing. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Freeport: 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.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.

Freeport: NFIP Claim Records and Water-Quality Context
Historical NFIP data for Freeport contains 1 flood insurance claim. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $4,865.
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 $500 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.
