Deteriorated Paint Index by State

Published by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development | Department of Housing and Urban Development | Catalog Last Checked: March 12, 2026 at 11:22 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 16, 2023 at 03:21 PM
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 State 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.
