Eh, I learned it primarily by word of mouth from gardening enthusiasts who are buying homes. But here's one article about the phenomenon: https://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/gardens/planting-and-maintenance/when-to-test-garden-soil-for-lead-contamination-and-how-to-garde

I don't have a lot of statistics to back it up except that it seems worse on the East Coast and Rust Belt

Ok thanks for the info. I'm actually in the process of buying a house built in 1955. I'll definitely be sure to test the soil just to be safe.
