Housing Age Profile
Although a small portion of Bluff Dale's homes predate 1986, the median build year of 2007 indicates the majority of the city's residential plumbing was installed after lead solder was banned — which tends to reduce the plumbing-related component of lead exposure at the household level.
Most homes in Bluff Dale were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Bluff Dale
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.
Whenever aggregate samples pass the federal action benchmark and pre-rule housing — 26% in Bluff Dale — represents a smaller fraction, lead occupies a lower priority on the local picture.
