The short answer
The median home in Little Falls dates from 1939 or earlier, 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.

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.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Little Falls 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.
