Housing Age Profile
Whether your home in Votaw was built before or after 1986 matters more than the citywide median of 2019, because the 1986 federal lead restrictions cover plumbing installed after that point.
Most homes in Votaw were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Votaw
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 29% of Votaw homes; older plumbing in any of them can still add lead at the tap.
