How Old Is Meno's Housing Stock?
With 75% 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
Heavily weighted toward older construction, Meno's housing stock carries a median build year of 1962. That profile puts a majority of homes in the era when lead-soldered copper plumbing was standard practice.
Over half of homes in Meno were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Meno: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Because property values in Meno comfortably exceed estimated remediation costs, the equity impact here is proportionally small.
Remediation costs in Meno are relatively low compared to home values. The $300–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 4% below the Oklahoma average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Meno
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.
Even where utility-side monitoring meets Lead and Copper Rule requirements, the 75% pre-rule share in Meno keeps interior-plumbing variation as a household-level question that aggregate data cannot resolve.
