How Old Is Mansfield'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
Congress banned lead solder in residential plumbing in 1986, drawing a clear line in housing risk by era. Mansfield's median build year of 2007 puts most of its residential stock on the newer side of that boundary - a profile that generally correlates with lower plumbing-sourced lead exposure across the city.
Most homes in Mansfield were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Mansfield: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Mansfield, the equity impact of remediation is proportionally small - not the kind of financial commitment that rises to the level of a genuine planning constraint, but a minor share of what most properties here are worth.
Remediation costs in Mansfield are relatively low compared to home values. The $1,500–$3,300 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 66% above the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Mansfield
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.
Since the federal solder ban took effect, new plumbing has been built without that pathway, and Mansfield's pre-rule stock at 18% reflects a contained footprint.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Mansfield
Historical NFIP data for Mansfield contains 154 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $35,529. 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>$2,300</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.
