The short answer
The median build year in Miamisburg is 1983, 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.

What 1983 tells you about the pipe in Miamisburg
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
