Eden,
More analysis and review has been done by Sarah’ staff. Here are the talking points:
The high risk Zip codes (48503 and 48504}
Blood lead level rates among children under six years of age in the high risk Zip codes (48503, 48504} were 2.7 times
higher than the rest of Genesee County before the switch to Flint River Water (o<0.0001}, After the switch to Flint River
Water, rates in the high risk Zip codes were 3.2 times that of the rest of Genesee County {p<f.0001).
Thus, compared to rates during 2040-2013, the rates after the switch to Flint River water in the high risk Zip codes
increased 18 percent, although this difference did not reach statistical significance.

Other Zip codes in Hint
Rates of elevated blood lead levels among children under six years of age In other narts of the city of Hint were 2 times
that of the rest of Genesee County before the switch to Flint River Water (p<0.0001). The magnitude of the elevated
rate remained roughly the same during the period after the water source switch.
