How Old Is Texline's Housing Stock?
With 67% of homes built before 1986, lead solder in plumbing is a potential concern. The EPA banned lead solder in 1986, but many older homes retain original plumbing.

Housing Age Profile
When more than half a city's housing predates the 1986 federal ban on lead solder, plumbing-era lead risk becomes a citywide concern rather than an exception. Texline's median build year of 1976 places it squarely in that category.
Over half of homes in Texline were built before 1986, when lead solder was banned. Older plumbing may leach lead into drinking water, especially with corrosive water chemistry.

Texline: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Texline, the remediation-to-property-value ratio is elevated enough that homeowners who identify documented issues early have an advantage - understanding the scope, sequencing by urgency, and phasing the work against household budget capacity are the practical levers that determine whether remediation feels manageable or overwhelming at this equity tier.
At 4.9% of home value, remediation costs in Texline represent a significant financial burden. For homes valued near the median, fixing water and safety issues could cost $2,980–$7,660. Home values here are 55% below the Texas average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Texline
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.
Even where utility-side monitoring meets Lead and Copper Rule requirements, the 67% pre-rule share in Texline keeps interior-plumbing variation as a household-level question that aggregate data cannot resolve.
