How Old Is Hubbard's Housing Stock?
With 66% 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, Hubbard's housing stock carries a median build year of 1973. That profile puts a majority of homes in the era when lead-soldered copper plumbing was standard practice.
Over half of homes in Hubbard were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Hubbard: Remediation Cost in Perspective
At current valuations, Hubbard sits in the low remediation-share tier — the equity impact of fixing documented issues is proportionally minor.
Remediation costs in Hubbard are relatively low compared to home values. The $150–$600 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 10% above the Oregon average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Hubbard
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 Hubbard, where 66% 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.
