How Old Is Bayside's Housing Stock?
With 48% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.
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 Bayside, the median build year of 1983 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Bayside were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Bayside: Remediation Cost in Perspective
At current valuations, Bayside sits in the low remediation-share tier - the equity impact of fixing documented issues is proportionally minor.
Remediation costs in Bayside are relatively low compared to home values. The $800–$1,800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 29% below the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Bayside
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.
When older housing represents 48% of the local inventory or aggregate readings approach the federal action level, an in-home check becomes the standard way to translate citywide averages into the specific reality of an individual Bayside address.

How flooding affects water quality: Flood events can introduce sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial chemicals into water supplies.
