Housing Age Profile
Since 1986, federal law has prohibited lead solder in new residential plumbing. With a median build year of 2006, much of Daufuskie Island's housing falls on the safer side of that line - though homes built before 1986 still warrant testing regardless of the city-wide profile.
Most homes in Daufuskie Island were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Daufuskie Island
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.
Through the multi-year window of EPA Lead and Copper Rule monitoring, Daufuskie Island has stayed under the action mark. Paired with a 7% pre-rule housing share, the result places lead in a lower-priority spot on the local picture - without erasing the structural gap between citywide averages and what arrives at one specific tap.
