It doesn't actually accumulate in any particular area. There was a study done at at an airport that showed no particular accumulation at the airport. Leaded gas ends up poisoning the whole world a bit.
This "dilution is the solution to pollution" argument is the excuse the FAA uses for forcing everyone to use leaded avgas. This should be more of a scandal. The FAA is basically helping maintain a harmful oil company monopoly at the expense of the world.
This is not just about recreational aircraft. For example, 45% of the Canadian commercial fleet is piston engine based. Incidentally, Canada was involved in a test program with the FAA for leaded fuel replacements. The FAA recently dropped out of that program.
