Deteriorated Paint Index by County

Published by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development | Department of Housing and Urban Development | Metadata Last Checked: August 05, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-08-16T15:21:50.224Z
The Deteriorated Paint Index (DPI) data predicts areas at-risk of containing several pre-1980 households with large areas of deteriorated paint, a significant and common predictor of lead dust, at the County level. Funding for remediation and abatement is limited. To adequately target households eligible for home remediation and associated intervention efforts, local healthy homes and environmental health program administrators must identify neighborhoods that are the most “at risk” of residential lead exposure where deteriorated paint is the primary source. To address this need, the DPI uses household-level data to predict a household’s risk of deteriorated paint.
