Scotia Infrastructure Age
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Pre-1986 construction carries elevated plumbing-era lead risk because lead solder was widely used before that federal ban. In Scotia, the median build year of 1999 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Scotia were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Scotia: Lead Risk & Vulnerable Populations
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 Scotia represents 35% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level - making an in-home read a standard household-level step.
