How Old Is Numidia's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile
Prohibited from residential plumbing since 1986, lead solder divides Numidia's housing stock along a timeline that the median build year of 2006 straddles. A meaningful share of homes predates the ban - a configuration that places moderate aggregate pressure on plumbing-related lead risk, distributed unevenly across neighborhoods.
Most homes in Numidia were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Numidia: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Although the Numidia remediation share is moderate, it remains reachable for most homeowners who plan for the expense in advance.
Remediation costs are moderate relative to home values in Numidia. The estimated $2,000–$4,000 range is manageable for most homeowners but still worth budgeting for. Home values are 11% above the Pennsylvania average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Numidia
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.
Pulling a tap sample fills the gap that utility data cannot close, particularly here where 38% of housing dates from the pre-rule era and citywide monitoring sits at or above the regulatory mark in Numidia.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Numidia
Historical NFIP data for Numidia contains 2 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $20,341. 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 <strong>$3,000</strong> 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.
