Three delineated clusters in reference to age of housing units—revealing cluster outliers, proximity to major roadways, and water bodies in the City of Chicago. We hypothesize that this linear-like pattern of elevated BLL may be spatially linked to the city's water service lines. This hypothesis begs a question: In the Chicago region, could lead pipes be a primary transportation medium for lead-contaminated water supply in schools, homes, and so forth?
