The verdict

Calumet Park lands in the middle third by violation volume (51), large enough for peer comparisons without matching the fleet's heaviest ledgers. Population served is large (8,442; larger served population (> 3,309)), so household exposure scale sits behind the violation mix. Health-based share is 12% (middle-third health share (≤ 23%)). UCMR5 tested this system and reported no PFAS above the minimum reporting level.
