Housing Age Profile
Because the majority of Washingtonville's housing predates 1986, when lead solder was banned from new plumbing, the median build year of 1956 reflects a city where lead-era plumbing materials are common rather than exceptional.
Over half of homes in Washingtonville were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

How Remediation Costs Compare in Washingtonville
Looking at how documented remediation costs fit within Washingtonville property values, the equity share lands in the moderate tier - a finding that positions the household financial perspective between routine maintenance and a significant budget commitment, where most homeowners can successfully address documented issues by treating the expense as a planned financial priority rather than an unexpected one.
Remediation costs are moderate relative to home values in Washingtonville. The estimated $950–$2,100 range is manageable for most homeowners but still worth budgeting for. Home values are 47% below the Ohio average.
Washingtonville: 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.
After the federal action removing lead-bearing solder from new plumbing took effect, building practice shifted - but 83% of the Washingtonville inventory predates that line. With aggregate samples near or beyond 0.015 mg/L, an in-home check moves out of the optional column into the standard list.
