Lead at the tap

Most homes here are on private wells; lead there comes from the house plumbing, and only a lab test of the tap will find it.

Children: this ZIP is not on the Ohio Department of Health's high-risk list for childhood lead testing; children on Medicaid or in pre-1978 housing with peeling paint should still be tested.

Housing age: 29% of the homes here were built before 1960 and 16% before 1940, when lead service lines, lead solder and lead paint were common; 54% predate 1980 (Census ACS 2020 to 2024).

Groundwater

Under the surface

till over sand and gravel, part of the Alliance Thin Upland Aquifer (thin upland setting); wells there yield < 5 gallons a minute, deposits < 25 ft thick

Bedrock

Allegheny and Upper Pottsville undivided, includes the Homewood Sandstone, yielding 5 - 25 gpm to a well

Setting

Interbedded Sedimentary Rocks; water table 15-30 ft down, 4-7 in/yr recharge, silt loam soil (hydrogeologic setting 7Aa); pesticide index 140

Well logs

696 drilled wells on file (223.5 per 1,000 residents), median 120 ft deep, 15 gallons a minute median test yield, water 26 ft down

Aquifers

78% of wells in bedrock, 22% in sand, gravel and other unconsolidated material; typical well drilled 1992, 211 since 2000; uses: Domestic 585, Monitor 45

Geology

68% of the ZIP is a sensitive geologic setting, where thin or sandy cover leaves the aquifer open to what soaks in from the surface; nearest verified sinkhole 20.1 mi away (Ohio EPA and ODNR Geological Survey)

Injection wells

48 Class V injection wells on Ohio EPA's books inside this ZIP (11 active): 1 large septic, 47 cleanup injection; these put fluids underground above or into drinking water aquifers

Water table

MA-1 OH monitoring well (ODNR), 6.5 mi away: water 33.4 ft below ground on 2026-07-12; averaged 33.7 ft in 2015 to 2019 and 33.3 ft over the latest year, about the same; range 29.8 to 36.5 ft over 4,211 readings since 2015

Nitrate risk

EPA researchers put the chance that a public water system in the Headwaters Mill Creek subwatershed exceeds the nitrate limit at 23% if it draws on groundwater and 29% if it draws on rivers or lakes, judged from land use, geology and past results (EnviroAtlas nitrate violation index; the typical Ohio subwatershed scores 23% for groundwater and 39% for surface water)

Quality monitoring

Ohio EPA's nearest ambient groundwater monitoring well is Columbiana PWS (Columbiana County), 5.6 mi away: 265 ft deep in sandstone or shale (Cuyahoga Group aquifer); bedrock 55 ft down; wells there yield under 5 gallons a minute; sampled on the standard cycle. 8 active wells within 15 mi

Vulnerability rates how easily a spill at the surface reaches the aquifer, not whether anything has. Well logs include abandoned and replaced wells, so counts overstate wells in use; a private well owner is the only one who tests it.

Aquifer exposure

Karst

no karst-prone bedrock under the population center; no mapped sinkhole inside the ZIP; nearest verified sinkhole 20.1 mi from the center

Wellhead protection

less than half a percent of this ZIP lies inside any public water system's five-year wellhead protection area

River intakes

16% in the 1,000-foot stream corridor zone; 1% in the Ohio River zone of concern

Vulnerability index

DRASTIC 116 (ODNR; higher means a spill at the surface reaches the aquifer more easily)

Sensitive settings are outwash plains, buried valleys, karst and shallow bedrock, mapped statewide by Ohio EPA for siting decisions. Exposure is not contamination: it says how quickly a spill, a failing tank or heavy manure would reach the water table, not whether one has.

Sewage treatment

Size

5 million gallons a day design flow; a major facility

Compliance

12 of the last 12 quarters with a violation; currently in violation (not significant); 2 effluent limit exceedances in 3 years

Other discharge permits: 2 facilities inside this ZIP other than sewage plants hold a Clean Water Act permit (factories, water plants, quarries, package plants, storm water); 4 facility-quarters with a violation in the last three years.

Sewage sludge: 1 farm field covering 26 acres inside this ZIP is permitted for spreading treated biosolids, mostly from Salem Stp (26 acres) (Ohio EPA). Biosolids carry nutrients and, increasingly under scrutiny, PFAS.

Sludge source: nearest Boardman WWTP, 4.1 mi away; 5 within 10 miles (Ohio EPA).

State water loans: no Ohio EPA revolving-fund project inside this ZIP; the nearest is Mill Creek Park WRRSP (Mill Creek Metroparks, 2007, $2.0 million), 3.2 mi away.

Stormwater: 10% of this ZIP lies inside Ohio EPA's regulated MS4 areas, mostly the Beaver Township storm sewer system; the towns, townships and counties that own those storm sewers hold a stormwater permit and must control what runs off streets and parking lots (2020 to 2030 designation). 3 sites with an address in this ZIP hold their own industrial stormwater permits (Usf Holland Inc (Yt), Verdesian Life Sciences LLC, Associated Paper Stock Inc) (EPA Facility Finder).

Where a home's sewage actually goes depends on the sewer district, and rural homes are on septic systems the county health department permits; the nearest plant is a proxy. Violations range from paperwork to raw discharges.

Stream health

Uses failing

aquatic life 100% of the land, recreation (bacteria) 100%, fish consumption not assessed here, drinking-water source 41% (that use is assessed on only 41% of the ZIP)

Causes listed

bacteria (pathogens) (100%), habitat damage (100%), altered hydrology (59%)

Cleanup plans

0% of the land is under a TMDL pollution budget

Watersheds here: Headwaters Mill Creek (not supporting); Headwaters Yellow Creek (not supporting).

Nearest stream assessment (Ohio EPA): Yellow Creek @ St. Rt. 165 on the Yellow Creek, 1.3 mi away, draining 10 square miles: non attainment of its warmwater use; fish IBI 32 of 60 (2011); bugs rated fair; habitat QHEI 40.5 of 100. 3 assessed sites inside the ZIP, 4 within 3 miles, 39 within 10. Scores above about 40 (IBI), 36 (ICI) and 60 (QHEI) mean a healthy warmwater stream.

Stream designations (Ohio EPA water quality standards): 6.9 miles of designated streams cross this ZIP: 6.9 mi warmwater habitat. Nearest specially protected stream: the North Fork Little Beaver creek (Pennsylvania state line (RM 7.75) to the mouth), 13.3 mi away, an Outstanding State Water. Exceptional and coldwater streams are the state's healthiest; modified and limited-resource waters are channelized or ditched.

Proposed for 2026: the nearest reach Ohio EPA proposes to add to the antidegradation tiers is the Elk Run, 9.2 mi away, as Superior High Quality Water.

PFAS in the river (Ohio EPA large river survey): at Mahoning R. At Lowellville @ First St., 8.7 mi away, the water carried 119.62 ng/L of total PFAS (PFOA 4.7, PFOS 4.3 ng/L); fish fillets held 27.04 ng/g in bluegill (PFOS 7.7 in bluegill). Drinking water limits are 4 ng/L for PFOA and PFOS; river water is not drinking water, but treatment plants that draw from it start from these numbers.

Farm chemicals (USGS estimate, 2018): farms in Mahoning County used about 47 metric tons of pesticide active ingredient, 111 kg per square mile, 57th of Ohio's 88 counties. Largest: glyphosate 21 t, metolachlor 4 t, atrazine 4 t, acetochlor 3 t, glufosinate 2 t. Atrazine, the corn herbicide, is the pesticide that most often shows up in Ohio tap water after spring rains; this county used 4 t of it.

Farms (2022 Census of Agriculture): 661 farms work 71,023 acres of Mahoning County, with 19.1% of its land in cropland, 107 acres to a farm. 13,072 cattle, 812 hogs, 39,914 laying hens, 688,673 broilers, 440 turkeys; 13,475 acres of corn and 17,786 of soybeans. Sales $87 million, 62% from animals and animal products. Manure and fertilizer from farms like these carry the phosphorus and nitrogen behind Ohio's algae and nitrate problems; withheld figures protect individual farms.

A watershed unit fails when any sampled stream in it fails; ditches in flat farm country fail on habitat and nutrients, city creeks on bacteria and sediment. Ohio's own report is at epa.ohio.gov; the EPA link on each unit's report page has the sampling detail.

H2Ohio: nearest project Forest Lawn Stormwater Park, inland flow-through wetland, funded 2022, completed, 6.1 mi away: This project was identified by ABC District and Boardman Township as an opportunity to improve water quality, alleviate local flooding, and address stream erosi...; 0 within 5 miles, 2 within 15. H2Ohio pays for wetlands, farm practices and lead line work to cut the nutrients behind Lake Erie's algae.

Source water: 41% of this ZIP drains to the river intake of Aqua Ohio - Struthers and sits inside its Ohio EPA source water protection area; 16% lies in the 1,000-foot stream corridor zone where spills and runoff matter most; 1% is in the Ohio River zone of concern for the East Liverpool City intake.

Watershed grants: nearest "Demonstration Rain Garden at MetroParks Farm" by Mill Creek MetroParks (stormwater management, SWIF), 6.4 mi away; 4 within 10 miles (Ohio EPA project lists: Section 319 and GLRI through fiscal 2023, SWIF through 2017).

Road salt: nearest went to City of Struthers (equipment, 2024-2025), 8 mi away; 2 in Mahoning County. H2Ohio pays for brine makers, calibrated spreaders and covered salt barns so less chloride reaches streams and wells.

Watershed plan: the Headwaters Mill Creek subwatershed around this ZIP's center has an Ohio EPA-approved nine-element nonpoint source plan (2021), the blueprint that makes its farms, streambanks and communities eligible for federal Section 319 runoff grants.

The population center sits in the Headwaters Mill Creek subwatershed; its water runs on through Andersons Run-Mill Creek, then Dry Run-Mahoning River, then Coffee Run-Mahoning River.

In 2015 Mahoning County drew about 7 million gallons a day of fresh water (USGS): 4.3 million for public supply (0% from wells, 224,500 people served at 12 gallons a person a day at home), 1.1 million for industry, 0.2 million for irrigation; 7,400 residents drew their own well water.

EnviroAtlas, Headwaters Mill Creek: under 50 acres in the Conservation Reserve Program; 2,345 acres of grain crops; 64 miles of streams (1.7 per square mile); water use of 970 thousand gallons a day for homes; 38.1 inches of rain and snow a year; 10.5 kg of nitrogen per hectare falling from the air each year; farm nitrogen of 3.9 kg per hectare a year as manure and 14.1 kg as synthetic fertilizer; 3% of the farmland sits on drained hydric soils; potentially restorable wetlands on farmland cover 5% of the subwatershed; 12% of the land is paved or roofed; 57% of the stream banks keep natural cover (EPA EnviroAtlas national metrics, 2010s vintages).

Stream permits: none of this ZIP drains to streams Ohio EPA rates high quality, where a project that fills, pipes or crosses a stream needs an individual Ohio EPA 401 water quality review; 1% drains toward high-quality waters farther down and might qualify for the Army Corps' blanket nationwide permits after a field screening and 99% can use those nationwide permits outright (Ohio EPA 401 nationwide permit eligibility map).

Zillow's typical home value here is $293K (2026-07), up 5% over the year, up 32% over five years and up 85% over ten.

On the market (Realtor.com, August 2026): median asking price $517,000, $231 per square foot for a typical 1,725 sq ft listing; 5 active listings, 0 new this month; listings spend a median 69 days on the market; 0% of listings have cut their price. Realtor.com flags this ZIP's figures this month as low quality (5 active listings), so the asking price is not a market median.

The index follows the same houses through repeat sales and refinance appraisals on conforming mortgages, so it measures price change rather than the price level (the Homes card has the median value). Consumer prices rose about 36% from 2015 to 2025, so a gain under 36% is a loss in real terms.

School district income tax

South Range Local none (85% of residents), Boardman Local none (8% of residents), Springfield Local 1% (6% of residents). Voted by the district and collected with the state income tax.

Sales tax

7.5% combined rate in Mahoning County: Ohio's 5.75% plus county and transit levies.

A mill is $1 per $1,000 of taxable value, and taxable value is 35% of market value. Effective rates fall as values rise because Ohio holds most voted levies to the dollars first approved. County, municipal or township, library, park and vocational-school levies are added on the same bill and are not counted here.

Walkability

Street grid

6 intersections per square mile, long blocks and country roads

Transit

the EPA's 2020 transit file lacks this area's bus system, so it puts nobody here within three-quarters of a mile of a stop; the Transit card finds 21% of residents within half a mile of one

Mix of uses

employment mix 0.71 and mix of homes and job types 0.78 on the EPA's 0 to 1 scales, where 1 is the most varied

Car-free households

9.9% of households have no vehicle (Census ACS 2020 to 2024)

The index scores every block group on intersection density, distance to transit and how mixed its jobs and homes are, then ranks them against the whole country. It measures the street pattern, not sidewalks, safety or hills. Here the transit third of the score sits at its minimum because the EPA held no feed for this area's buses; counting them would likely add several points to the score and could move this ZIP up a band.

Rail crossings

4 with gates; railroads: Youngstown & Southeastern Railroad (8). Busiest crossing: 2 trains a day reported; fastest line 20 mph.

Mahoning County has logged 3 rail accidents since 2010, 3 of them derailments (FRA Form 54). Yard mishaps at walking speed dominate; main-line derailments are the rare, dangerous ones.

Train counts and speeds are the railroad's last inventory update. Crossings with only crossbucks rely on the driver; Ohio has averaged about 77 crossing collisions a year from 2010 to 2025 (FRA Form 57), between 64 and 87 in a year.

Bridges

Age

typical bridge built 1954; oldest 1954, Tpk Exit 232 Ramp over SR 7

Busiest

South Ave / Sr164 over I76 Ohio Turnpike, 12,310 vehicles a day (2019 count)

Owners

toll authority 10, state 3

Rated poor

I76 Oh Tpk WB over Evans Lake & Yellow CR (1954, 9,200 a day)

Ratings come from the inspection every bridge gets at least every two years; poor means deterioration that needs repair, not imminent danger. FHWA's file is a yearly snapshot with inspections through early 2025, so a bridge replaced, re-rated or closed since then still shows its old rating here; ODOT's TIMS bridge inventory carries the current one. Traffic figures are the average daily counts the bridge owners filed with the inventory; most Ohio counts date from 2015 and some are older. County engineers own most of Ohio's small bridges and ODOT the big ones.

Traffic

Trucks

8,550 a day on I-76, 36% of its traffic

Driving

about 207K vehicle-miles a day on the 142 counted segments inside the ZIP; the typical segment carries 5,816 vehicles

Busiest local road

county road 143, 4,746 vehicles a day

Annual average daily traffic is both directions combined, averaged over the year. County, township and city roads are labelled by their route number, which ODOT uses instead of the street name. Most city streets have no count, so the busiest local road is the busiest counted one. Interchange ramps are left out of the busiest-road pick; a ZIP with nothing but ramps shows one labelled ramp and its ODOT number.

Road deaths: 5 people died in 4 crashes inside this ZIP in 2020 to 2024 (1 pedestrian, 1 motorcyclist); 0 involved a drinking driver and 2 happened in the dark; most on I-76 (2). Too few people live here for a per-resident rate to mean much; deaths are counted where the crash happened, and many who die on through roads live elsewhere. (NHTSA FARS)

Flood zones

8.5% of the ZIP's land is in that floodplain, and another 0.0% is in the 0.2% (500-year) zone.

Design storms (NOAA Atlas 14): a 100-year storm here drops 5.0 inches in 24 hours (2.6 in a single hour, 3.8 in six); a 2-year storm 2.4, 10-year 3.4, 25-year 4.0, 500-year 6.2 inches in 24 hours. Storm sewers, culverts and detention ponds are sized from these numbers, and a "100-year" storm has a 1% chance every year.

Nearest river gauge: Mahoning River at Lowellville OH, 8.7 mi away, draining 1,073 square miles. Record flow 21,000 cubic feet a second at a stage of 14.43 ft on 1959-01-21; the highest since 2016 was 17,900 on 2022-02-18 (USGS, 56 annual peaks, 1944 to 2025).

6 federal flood insurance policies are in force in this ZIP, covering $1.4 million of buildings; the typical policy costs $825 a year (about 1% of households).

9 federal flood insurance claims from this ZIP since 1978, 2 since 2010, paying about $143,349 in all; the worst year was 2004 with 5 claims; 62% of claims came from outside the mapped high-risk zone.

Climate

Temperature

49.9°F average; typical January low 19°, July high 82°

Hot and cold days

15 days a year reach 90°F; 139 nights fall below freezing, 6 below 0°F; 33 days never climb above freezing

Rain and snow

40.8 inches of precipitation on 91 days with a tenth of an inch or more; 28 inches of snow on 12 days with an inch or more, snow on the ground 31 days

Degree days

6,096 heating, 615 cooling (base 65°F): the higher the heating number, the bigger the winter gas bill

Drought (U.S. Drought Monitor): since 2020 Mahoning County has spent 16 weeks in moderate drought or worse, 1 of them severe or worse (most recently 1 week in 2024), and 70 weeks at least abnormally dry. The worst since 2000 was severe drought in 2024/09; 4% of all weeks since 2000 were in drought. As of 2026-09-01: no drought.

Long run (NOAA, Mahoning County): the average year ran 50.3 °F over 1996 to 2025 against 47.5 °F over 1901 to 1930, 2.7 °F warmer (2.4 °F warmer than 1951 to 1980); the warmest year on record was 2024 at 52.8 °F, and 2025 came in at 49.4 °F. Precipitation averaged 41.3 inches a year lately against 37.7 a century ago, 9% more; the wettest year was 2011 with 54.2 inches, and 2025 brought 38.3. More rain in bigger bursts is what strains storm sewers and septic fields.

Stations: Millport 4 NE (16.3 mi, temperature); Warren 3 S (18.8 mi, precipitation and snowfall; 21 years of snowfall record). Normals are thirty-year averages, so a single winter can run far above or below them; NOAA marks this snowfall normal provisional because the station record is too short or too patchy for a standard normal, and the temperature and precipitation figures here skip stations with under 10 years.

20%: 2% high intensity (downtown blocks, big-box lots), 4% medium (apartments, small-lot houses), 7% low (houses on larger lots), 7.9% open space (lawns, parks, golf courses, road verges)

Farmland

27%: 7.6% row crops, 20% pasture and hay

Crops 2025

of 1,091 cropped acres, 38% soybeans, 32% corn, 7% wheat and small grains (plus 5% wheat followed by soybeans, counted under soybeans), 16% hay and alfalfa, 6% vegetables, orchards, fallow and other crops; 1,831 acres of pasture and grass (USDA Cropland Data Layer)

Forest

37%, plus 1.1% grass and shrub

Water and wetland

4.2% open water, 9.8% wetland

Paved and roofed

7% of the ZIP's surface is impervious; rain that lands there runs straight to a storm drain or stream instead of soaking in

Tree canopy

31% of the ZIP sits under tree canopy

Area

13.9 square miles of land

Before settlement

the land surveys of the early 1800s mapped this ZIP as 80% mixed mesophytic forest, 7.1% beech-sugar maple forest and 6.8% swamp forest; 13% of it was wet forest (swamp, bottomland or wet beech), shrub or willow swamp, marsh, wet meadow, bog or wet prairie (ODNR pre-settlement vegetation mapping)

Land cover is classified from Landsat imagery at 30 metre pixels, so a house on a wooded lot can read as forest and a farm lane as open space. Stream health starts to slip once about 10% of a watershed is impervious, and is usually poor above 25%.

Unemployment-insurance records tie each job to a workplace and a home address; large employers sometimes report every worker at a headquarters, which inflates a few ZIPs. Self-employment, the military, the Postal Service, most farm work and a large part of federal civilian employment are missing (federal jobs come from OPM records that omit several agencies and, in practice, most of Wright-Patterson).

Rates cover the whole agency's territory, not this ZIP alone: a city's downtown and its quiet edges share one number. Murders, rapes and assaults are counted once per victim and other offenses once per incident, as the FBI's Crime Data Explorer does; a large department's figures can still fall somewhat short of the Explorer's, which takes in later submissions, and a sheriff's population is only the unincorporated area it serves.

Three stars means the district meets state standards, five that it significantly exceeds them, one that it needs significant support. Achievement stars follow family income closely; the progress component (growth from year to year) is the fairer measure of teaching. Charter and private schools are not in the district figures.
