Homes around this lab
Middlesex County: 68% of 664,267 housing units were built before 1980, about the same as the Massachusetts share of 67% (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 1,136,599 homes built before 1980 are in the 4 counties whose centre lies within 25 miles of this lab (Essex County, Middlesex County, Norfolk County, Suffolk County).
- Asbestos testing: 4 accredited lab sites within 25 miles, about 284,150 older homes per site, fewer than the Massachusetts figure of 408,725 older homes per listed site (5 sites).
- Lead paint testing: 1 accredited lab site within 25 miles, about 1,136,599 older homes per site, fewer than the Massachusetts figure of 2,043,623 older homes per listed site (1 site).

Water and housing around this lab
- Radon: Middlesex County is EPA Zone 1, the highest radon potential (average indoor level may be above 4 pCi/L). Renovation that opens floors or basements is a common time to test.
- Private wells: about 116,513 people, 7% of residents, drink from a private well (USGS 2015), the 10th highest share of 14 counties in Massachusetts.
- Well-water testing: the nearest state-certified drinking-water lab that its state list marks as taking homeowner samples is Practical Applications, 1 miles away.
- Public drinking water: 55 public water systems serving Middlesex County reported EPA UCMR 5 PFAS tests (2023–2026); 24 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 Natick Water Department (PFOA 14.3 ng/L, PFOS 37.3 ng/L). These are water suppliers’ results, not private wells.
- Arsenic in private wells (USGS model): about 6,189 private-well users in Middlesex County may drink water above 10 µg/L of arsenic (2010 base; a screening estimate, not a measurement).
