Housing & Infrastructure in Jones
With 45% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. Federal law banned lead solder in drinking-water plumbing in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
Homes on the same street in Jones can differ: one may keep original pre-1986 plumbing while another has been replumbed, so the 1980 median is only a starting point.
Most homes in Jones were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Jones
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.
Households with young children in Jones have two area numbers to weigh. One is the mean of 90th-percentile lead values reported for local ZIP codes, which is at or above 0.010 mg/L; the other is the 45% share of housing that dates from before 1986. Neither describes one home, and sending a tap sample to an accredited laboratory is how a family measures its own lead level.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Jones
Historical NFIP data for Jones contains 33 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $23,830. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 100% have an A- or V-family dominant rated zone recorded in those historical claims. This is not a complete current FEMA property-map inventory.
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 $800 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.
