How Old Is Ringle's Housing Stock?
With 48% 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.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS).
Housing Age Profile
Pre-1986 construction carries elevated plumbing-era lead risk because lead solder was widely used before that federal ban. In Ringle, the median build year of 1982 indicates a housing stock where that older fraction represents a significant share of the residential inventory.
Most homes in Ringle were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Ringle: Remediation Cost in Perspective
In Ringle, property wealth outpaces what documented remediation typically demands - the equity burden lands well within the low tier.

Protecting Children from Lead in Ringle
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.
Older stock in Ringle represents 48% of the inventory, and citywide monitoring runs at or above the federal action level - making an in-home read a standard household-level step.
