The short answer
The median home in Hillsdale dates from 1959, which puts galvanized steel supply pipe in the frame: it loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Weak pressure at every tap points at the supply, while one weak tap usually points at that fixture.

What 1959 tells you about the pipe in Hillsdale
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
90% of occupied homes in Hillsdale are owner-occupied, 27 points above the NJ figure of 63%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Hillsdale is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low, and a gauge settles it in a minute. Whole house is worth a call; one tap is usually yours to fix.
