found only 2 wards to have 10% or more of the homes with high lead levels.
4. Overall, the DEQ study found about 9% of the houses sampled had high lead levels; the FWS found
about 19% had high lead levels.
5. Based on the difference in their samples sizes, the results from the FWS are more reliable than the
results from the DEQ.
