The short answer
The median build year in Roseland is 1977, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.
Sources: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035; normal and low ranges as published by Grundfos in its homeowner guide to low water pressure.
Roseland has 2,445 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1977 — 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 1977 tells you about the pipe in Roseland
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
81% of occupied homes in Roseland are owner-occupied, 19 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.
