Housing Age Profile
Viewed through the lens of construction era, Hubbard is predominantly an older city — a median build year of 1988 puts most of the residential inventory in the range where pre-1986 plumbing materials were the standard.
Over half of homes in Hubbard were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Hubbard: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Hubbard, property values comfortably outpace what documented remediation typically costs — the equity share is proportionally low.
Remediation costs in Hubbard are relatively low compared to home values. The $150–$600 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 47% below the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Hubbard
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.
Pulling a tap sample fills the gap that utility data cannot close, particularly here where 56% of housing dates from the pre-rule era and citywide monitoring sits at or above the regulatory mark in Hubbard.
