How Old Is Lindon'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
Lead solder was federally prohibited in new plumbing in 1986. In Lindon, the median build year of 1993 puts a majority of homes in the lower-risk category for that specific contamination pathway — though the pre-1986 share shown above still carries real exposure potential at the individual household level.
Most homes in Lindon were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Lindon: Remediation Cost in Perspective
For most homeowners in Lindon, the estimated cost of water and safety remediation represents a proportionally modest share of what properties are worth — placing this area in the lower tier of the remediation share scale.
Remediation costs in Lindon are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 64% above the Utah average.
Protecting Children from Lead in Lindon
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.
In Lindon, the older-stock footprint runs at 22% — a contained slice — and aggregate utility readings land safely under the EPA action mark. That keeps lead off the local priority list, with a one-faucet draw remaining the only direct read on a specific address.
