Homes around this lab
Orange County: 57% of 1,146,169 housing units were built before 1980, about the same as the California share of 56% (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 3,217,817 homes built before 1980 are in the 2 counties whose centre lies within 25 miles of this lab (Los Angeles County, Orange County).
- Asbestos testing: 19 accredited lab sites within 25 miles, about 169,359 older homes per site, about the same as the California figure of 174,386 older homes per listed site (47 sites).

Water and housing around this lab
- Radon: Orange County is EPA Zone 3, low radon potential (below 2 pCi/L). Renovation that opens floors or basements is a common time to test.
- Private wells: about 20,275 people, 1% of residents, drink from a private well (USGS 2015), the 54th highest share of 58 counties in California.
- Well-water testing: the nearest state-certified drinking-water lab that its state list marks as taking homeowner samples is AIH Laboratory, Inc., 1 miles away.
- Public drinking water: 37 public water systems serving Orange County reported EPA UCMR 5 PFAS tests (2023–2026); 15 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 Anaheim (PFOA 10.1 ng/L, PFOS 29 ng/L). These are water suppliers’ results, not private wells.
- Arsenic in private wells (USGS model): about 1,975 private-well users in Orange County may drink water above 10 µg/L of arsenic (2010 base; a screening estimate, not a measurement).
