Housing Age Profile
Remodels change the picture: a 1992 median in Alpine says nothing about pipes swapped out or repaired since construction.
Most homes in Alpine 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 Alpine
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.
No safe blood lead level in children has been identified, according to CDC, so an area average under 0.010 mg/L does not rule out exposure at home. In Alpine, 22% of homes were built before 1986.
