Housing & Infrastructure in Floresville
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
Housing age matters for water quality because lead solder was widely used in plumbing until the 1986 federal ban. Floresville's median build year of 1991 suggests a majority of homes were constructed under the newer standard - a meaningful factor when assessing household-level lead risk from tap water.
Most homes in Floresville were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Floresville Homeowners
Equity impact data for Floresville lands in the favorable tier - remediation claims a small slice of what properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Floresville are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,650–$3,900 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 20% above the Texas average.
Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Floresville
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.
Locally, Floresville's indicators line up: aggregate readings pass under the regulatory benchmark and the pre-rule housing footprint at 28% keeps lead in a background position.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Floresville
Historical NFIP data for Floresville contains 11 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $45,122. 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>$2,600</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.
