Key Contaminants Detected in Fresno
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Fresno's Housing Stock?
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
A post-1986 majority in Fresno's housing inventory - median build year 2004 - generally signals lower aggregate plumbing-era lead risk.
Most homes in Fresno were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Fresno: Remediation Cost in Perspective
Because property values in Fresno comfortably exceed estimated remediation costs, the equity impact here is proportionally small.
Remediation costs in Fresno are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,200–$2,500 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 5% above the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Fresno
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 - 7% in Fresno - represents a smaller fraction, lead occupies a lower priority on the local picture.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Fresno
Historical NFIP data for Fresno contains 94 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $51,263. 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>$1,800</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.
