Housing Age Profile
Banned from residential plumbing in 1986, lead solder was a near-universal feature of copper plumbing before that cutoff. In Buford, where the median build year is 1995, the majority of housing falls into the post-ban category - though the older fraction of the stock still carries the residual risk that comes with pre-1986 pipe and solder materials.
Most homes in Buford were built after 1986, reducing the risk of lead contamination from plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.
