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.
What does the lead data say about a home in Okeene? Only part of the story. The average of 90th-percentile lead results across the city's ZIP codes is at least 0.010 mg/L, and roughly 81% of dwellings date from the pre-1986 period. Lead usually enters drinking water from a building's own service line and plumbing, so results at any one faucet can be higher or lower than the area average.
