Key Contaminants Detected in Nocona
Based on EPA violation records. Check your ZIP code report for system-specific contaminant data.
How Old Is Nocona's Housing Stock?
With 65% 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.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Viewed through the lens of construction era, Nocona has a median build year of 1976; houses completed ahead of 1986 can hold lead-bearing solder or fittings.
Over half of homes in Nocona 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.

Nocona: Remediation Cost in Perspective
This section sets two area figures side by side for Nocona: 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.

Protecting Children from Lead in Nocona
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.
Even though compliance with the federal lead action level is judged on each system's own 90th percentile, the average of those results across Nocona ZIP codes, 0.010 mg/L or more, is a reason to check at home, particularly in the 65% of housing built before 1986.

Historical Flood-Claim Evidence for Nocona
Historical NFIP data for Nocona contains 24 flood insurance claims. Among claims with payment data, the average reported building, contents, and ICC component sum is $32,371. 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 $300 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.
