Housing Age Profile

What does a median build year of 1978 mean for water safety in Stanley? It means the majority of the city's residential plumbing was installed before 1986, when lead solder was federally banned, and a large share may predate 1970, when lead pipes were commonly used - making plumbing age a central variable in household-level lead risk across much of the city.

Cost Context: What Remediation Means for Stanley Homeowners

Property equity in Stanley runs well ahead of estimated remediation costs - a cost-to-value ratio that sits in the low tier, meaning documented water and safety issues here are the kind homeowners can plan to address without treating the expense as a significant budget event relative to what their homes are worth.

Median Home Value
$190,400
Est. Remediation
$400
Remediation as % of home value 0.2%

Remediation costs in Stanley are relatively low compared to home values. The $0–$800 estimated range is a small fraction of median property value. Home values are 18% below the Wisconsin average.

Lead Exposure Risk for Children in Stanley

68%
Homes Built Before 1986
0.0012
mg/L Avg Lead (Limit: 0.015)

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.

If 68% of the Stanley inventory comes from before the federal ban on lead-bearing solder - and if utility samples sit at or near 0.015 mg/L - the gap between citywide averages and one specific faucet becomes a practical concern rather than a theoretical one. That is why one-home reads exist as a separate measurement. A certified filter through retailer networks addresses confirmed exposure where it appears in a household.
