Housing Age Profile

Over half of homes in Junedale were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Junedale
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.
Older stock in Junedale represents 93% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level - making an in-home read a standard household-level step.
