Homes around this lab
Albany County: 68% of 147,662 housing units were built before 1980, below the New York share of 74% (Census ACS 2020–2024, table B25034). EPA links lead-based paint to homes built before 1978, and asbestos was common in building materials of that era. The ACS groups years by decade, so 1980 is the nearest cut.
