Housing Age Profile
Prohibited from residential plumbing since 1986, lead solder divides Wallsburg's housing stock along a timeline that the median build year of 1998 straddles. A meaningful share of homes predates the ban — a configuration that places moderate aggregate pressure on plumbing-related lead risk, distributed unevenly across neighborhoods.
Most homes in Wallsburg were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
