How Old Is Hurst's Housing Stock?
With 68% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. Federal law banned lead solder in drinking-water plumbing in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
If you live in one of the pre-1986 homes in Hurst, a certified lab test for lead is the direct way to learn what your tap delivers; the median build year of 1975 is only context.
Over half of homes in Hurst were built before 1986, when federal law began restricting lead solder in drinking-water plumbing. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Hurst: Remediation Cost in Perspective
This section sets two area figures side by side for Hurst: 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 Hurst can be compared with local home values. The $425–$1,100 estimated range can be set against the median property value; actual costs vary by home. Home values are 56% above the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Hurst
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 Flood-Claim Evidence for Hurst
Historical NFIP data for Hurst contains 127 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $13,647. 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 $700 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.
