Housing & Infrastructure in Keller
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile
If your home in Keller predates 1986, testing the tap is the direct way to learn about lead; the median build year of 1998 cannot answer that for you.
Most homes in Keller were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Keller Homeowners
Of the three cost-context tiers - low, moderate and elevated - Keller is in the low one.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Keller
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.
Pre-1986 construction accounts for about 13% of Keller homes; older plumbing in any of them can still add lead at the tap.

Historical NFIP Claim Context in Keller
Historical NFIP data for Keller contains 57 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $27,960. 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 $600 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.
