The short answer
Housing in Roosevelt has a median build year of 1939 or earlier. On stock that old a house-wide pressure drop is the expected finding rather than a surprising one, because galvanized steel narrows from the inside. The figure dates the housing, not the pipe in any particular house.

Roosevelt has 361 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1939 or earlier — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 99% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 435th.
What a pre-1940 build tells you about the pipe in Roosevelt
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel supply pipe throughout, most of it decades past the point where the zinc lining has gone and rust has begun closing the bore from the inside. In houses this old the pressure loss is usually gradual rather than sudden, and it affects the whole house rather than one tap. More on pre-1940 supply pipe.
83% of occupied homes in Roosevelt are owner-occupied, 20 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.

Before calling anyone in Roosevelt, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this old a whole-house drop is the expected finding, because galvanized steel loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
