The short answer
Housing in Duarte runs to a median build year of 1965. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035.
Duarte has 8,579 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1965 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Duarte sits 6 years older than the CA median of 1971. Of the 257 CA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 71% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 184th.
What 1965 tells you about the pipe in Duarte
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
63% of occupied homes in Duarte are owner-occupied, 10 points above the CA figure of 53%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
