There is no mention anywhere in the article where the lead found in children from other locales came from.

Sure there is.

"In much of the state where lead is a problem, the source of poisoning has been the traditional culprits: old lead paint on homes built before 1978 and lead residue in dust and soil. Young children are particularly susceptible because of their proximity — on the ground — to the most common sources of lead. They crawl on their hands, pick up dust and dirt and put their hands in their mouths."

Nor was that the point of the article. The article is simply giving perspective to the lead levels that have been found in the kids in Flint compared to other MI cities.

Of course it is.
