A map showing the prevalence of lead service lines across New York City. There are hotspots in eastern Queens and the Bronx.

Portion of lead service lines by NYC census tract

New York City neighborhoods with more Hispanic or Latino residents — and neighborhoods with higher overall lead risk — also tend to have more lead service lines.

This analysis uses tracts from the 2010 Census. Some tracts may have changed since then. Tracts shown in gray were excluded for lack of data.
