Housing Age Profile
When more than half a city's housing predates the 1986 federal ban on lead solder, plumbing-era lead risk becomes a citywide concern rather than an exception. Eola's median build year of 1985 places it squarely in that category.
Over half of homes in Eola were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Eola Homeowners
At current valuations, Eola sits in the low remediation-share tier - the equity impact of fixing documented issues is proportionally minor.
Remediation costs in Eola are relatively low compared to home values. The $300–$1,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 377% above the Texas average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Eola
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 51% 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 Eola address.
