The short answer
Housing in Brighton has a median build year of 2004. Where the stock is that new, weak pressure is more often a valve or a fixture than a corroded supply line, and both can be checked before anything is assumed.

Brighton has 32,793 occupied homes across 3 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 2004 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 2004 tells you about the pipe in Brighton
Housing of this vintage generally means copper and the first widespread PEX. Neither corrodes closed, so a genuine whole-house pressure drop in a house of this age is almost always a valve, the meter, or the supply into the property — not the plumbing inside it. More on 2000s supply pipe.
83% of occupied homes in Brighton are owner-occupied, 18 points above the CO figure of 65%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Brighton ZIP codes is $112,381, 8% above the CO median of $103,819.

In Brighton the first check is how many taps are affected, and on housing of this age a single weak one is the common case — an aerator or a supply stop, not the system. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low, and a gauge tells you in a minute. Whole house is a call; one tap is not.
