Key Contaminants Detected in Evensville
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Evensville's Housing Stock?
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
Lead solder was a standard plumbing material before 1986, when federal law prohibited its use in new residential construction. In Evensville, the median build year of 1996 indicates that plumbing age is a material factor in local lead risk - with the pre-1986 share concentrated in specific neighborhoods and building types where older construction remains common.
Most homes in Evensville were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Evensville: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Equity impact data for Evensville lands in the favorable tier - remediation claims a small slice of what properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Evensville are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,100–$2,600 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 16% below the Tennessee average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Evensville
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.
Despite citywide averages serving as the standard public reference point, those aggregates cannot resolve what is happening at one specific faucet - and where 37% of Evensville homes come from before the solder rule or where utility samples sit at or above the action mark, the gap between system data and faucet reality matters more than it does in lower-exposure communities. An in-home draw closes that gap, with certified filtration through retailer networks available where confirmed faucet results warrant additional measures.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Evensville
Historical NFIP data for Evensville contains 1 flood insurance claim. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $3,726. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 0% 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>$1,700</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.
