57 <br /> there are approximately 3,333 housing units constructed before 1980 that have a low-or moderate- <br /> income family with children present residing in them. <br /> Discussion <br /> A substantial proportion of Orange County's housing stock has been constructed since 2000, and rates <br /> of physical deterioration and substandard conditions in the county's housing are relatively low. Despite <br /> this, nearly 8%of housing units in the County are vacant, and rehabilitation may be out of the financial <br /> means of their owners. <br /> While rates of reported lead poisoning in the county are low, we estimate that 3,333 low-and <br /> moderate-income households with children reside in housing that may contain lead-based paint <br /> hazards.This figure may be an under-representation of that risk, as low- and moderate-income <br /> households may be more likely to reside in older housing that has not undergone lead-based paint <br /> mitigation. <br /> FFY 2020—2024 Orange County, NC HOME Consortium 54 <br /> Consolidated Plan <br /> OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) <br />
