The short answer
The median build year in Southlake is 1997, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

Southlake has 9,458 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1997 — 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 1997 tells you about the pipe in Southlake
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
96% of occupied homes in Southlake are owner-occupied, 38 points above the TX figure of 57%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2023 release — tables B25003 (occupied units), B25035 (all units) and B19013 (households). How these are aggregated.
In Southlake the first check is how many taps are affected, and on housing of this age a single weak one is the common case — an aerator or a supply stop, not the system. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low, and a gauge tells you in a minute. Whole house is a call; one tap is not.
