Housing & Infrastructure in Anna
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
Banned from residential plumbing in 1986, lead solder was a near-universal feature of copper plumbing before that cutoff. In Anna, where the median build year is 2002, the majority of housing falls into the post-ban category - though the older fraction of the stock still carries the residual risk that comes with pre-1986 pipe and solder materials.
Most homes in Anna were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Anna Homeowners
At current valuations, Anna falls in the moderate remediation-share tier - a level where treating this as a budgeted line item rather than an ad-hoc expense is the practical approach.
Remediation costs are moderate relative to home values in Anna. The estimated $2,250–$5,400 range is manageable for most homeowners but still worth budgeting for. Home values are 39% above the Texas average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Anna
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.
Aggregate sampling rests beneath the federal action threshold here, while only 10% of Anna housing predates the solder rule change.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Anna
Historical NFIP data for Anna contains 2 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $61,810. 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>$3,300</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.
