The short answer
The median build year in Hudson is 1998, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

Hudson has 1,474 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1998 — 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 this site is
PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors.

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.Hudson sits 8 years newer than the CO median of 1990. Of the 93 CO towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 27% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 72nd.
What 1998 tells you about the pipe in Hudson
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
85% of occupied homes in Hudson are owner-occupied, 19 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 Hudson ZIP codes is $103,389.

Housing this new in Hudson rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
