Housing & Infrastructure in Cleveland
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
Over the decades, Cleveland accumulated housing from multiple construction periods. The median build year of 1995 can be read against 1986, when lead solder in plumbing became federally prohibited - a regulatory line, not a safety line, and individual homes on either side of it can have different plumbing.
Most homes in Cleveland were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Cleveland Homeowners
This section sets two area figures side by side for Cleveland: the median home value and an estimated remediation cost. Here the estimate equals no more than 1% of that value, which places the city in the low tier; it is an area estimate, and the cost for any one property can be higher or lower.
Estimated remediation costs in Cleveland can be compared with local home values. The $225–$1,050 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 26% below the Texas average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Cleveland
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
If you have young children or are pregnant, consider testing your home's water - especially if your home was built before 1986.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Cleveland
Historical NFIP data for Cleveland contains 903 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $39,837. Among ZIP codes with claim records, 100% 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 $450 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.
