Homes around this lab
Dallas County: 45% of 1,064,965 housing units were built before 1980, above the Texas share of 33% (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.
Older homes within 25 miles
About 843,610 homes built before 1980 are in the 4 counties whose centre lies within 25 miles of this lab (Collin County, Dallas County, Denton County, Tarrant County).

- Public drinking water: 29 public water systems serving Dallas County reported EPA UCMR 5 PFAS tests (2023–2026); 9 had a PFOA or PFOS result at or above 4.0 ng/L, the level EPA set for each in 2024; the highest result was at City Of Grand Prairie (PFOA 4.9 ng/L, PFOS 82 ng/L). These are water suppliers’ results, not private wells.
- Arsenic in private wells (USGS model): about 47 private-well users in Dallas County may drink water above 10 µg/L of arsenic (2010 base; a screening estimate, not a measurement).
