Since 1972, a federally funded lead screening program has been operational in Detroit, Michigan. Blood lead screening data (27,430 initial tests on Black children less than or equal to 6 years) were assigned by census tract of child's residence to one of the 15 socioeconomically similar areas in geographic proximity to one another. Higher blood lead levels were associated with lower education, lower income, and increased proportion of single parent families. This emphasizes the need to continue screening efforts in lower socioeconomic areas with older housing.
自1972年以来，密歇根州底特律市开展了一项由联邦政府资助的铅筛查项目。血铅筛查数据（对27430名6岁及以下黑人儿童进行的初次检测）根据儿童居住的普查区，被分配到在地理上彼此相邻的15个社会经济状况相似的区域之一。血铅水平较高与教育程度较低、收入较低以及单亲家庭比例增加有关。这突出了在社会经济水平较低且住房老旧的地区持续开展筛查工作的必要性。
