Mold remediation in Arendtsville
Arendtsville splits almost exactly in half by age: 48 percent of its housing predates 1950, and the median lands right on the line at 1951.
Reading the housing data
The Census reports 40.7 percent of housing built before 1940 and 48.0 percent before 1950, across 354 units, with a 1951 median. An even split like that is unusual and it means a street can contain housing from either side of the divide.

What building age does and does not tell you
Where a borough is evenly divided by age, advice written for one era misses the other, which is the practical argument for an inspection rather than a phone quote. Nothing about the split predicts what is under any particular floor.
