The short answer
Housing in Bridgeport has a median build year of 1947. 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.

Bridgeport has 2,061 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1947 — 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 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 97% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 198th.
What 1947 tells you about the pipe in Bridgeport
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel as standard, and at this age the inside diameter of a half-inch line can be materially narrower than it was when it was fitted. The classic sign is that pressure is worst at the fixtures furthest from where the water comes in. More on 1940s supply pipe.
Median household income across Bridgeport ZIP codes is $78,777, 17% below the PA median of $94,450.

Start in Bridgeport by running the taps one at a time. Where the housing is this old, a single weak fixture is the more interesting finding, because it means the rest of the system is still delivering and something local is not. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low. Test it, then decide: whole house is a call, one tap is five minutes.
