The short answer
Housing in Vandalia runs to a median build year of 1972. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

Vandalia has 6,532 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1972 — 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 1972 tells you about the pipe in Vandalia
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.
65% of occupied homes in Vandalia are owner-occupied, which is about the OH figure of 67% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
