Housing & Infrastructure in Tuscarawas
With 46% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Pre-1986 construction carries elevated plumbing-era lead risk because lead solder was widely used before that federal ban. In Tuscarawas, the median build year of 1998 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
A significant portion of Tuscarawas's housing stock predates 1970, when lead pipes were commonly used. Residents in older homes should consider water testing.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Tuscarawas Homeowners
Because property values in Tuscarawas comfortably exceed estimated remediation costs, the equity impact here is proportionally small.
Remediation costs in Tuscarawas are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 12% below the Ohio average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Tuscarawas
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.
Routinely in Tuscarawas, where 46% of housing predates the solder ban and aggregate utility readings hover near the federal threshold, a faucet-level draw functions as a standard household step for families with small kids.
