Housing Age Profile
Some cities skew heavily toward one construction era; Summerfield does not. The median build year of 1983 reflects a housing stock where older and newer homes share the market in meaningful proportions. That mixed profile means the city carries moderate aggregate plumbing-era risk - with older homes, particularly those built before 1986, representing the portion of the stock where lead-soldered joints may still be present.
Most homes in Summerfield were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Summerfield
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.
Before the federal solder ban, lead solder was a routine plumbing material, and 49% of the Summerfield inventory was built in that earlier era - a share large enough to move household-level reads onto the standard list.
