Housing Age Profile
The median home in Pool was built in 2005, after the federal ban on lead solder in plumbing. Most of the housing stock postdates that cutoff, placing typical plumbing risk on the lower end - though any home built before 1986 still warrants individual testing.
Most homes in Pool were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
