Methodology
This ranking is limited to EPA county-level radon zone classification. Zone 1 identifies the highest county-level potential category; it does not measure a home or establish whether any building is above an action level. Within Zone 1, ZIP codes are sub-ranked by Home Safety Score to organize area context.
Data sources: EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), FEMA National Flood Insurance Program, EPA radon zone maps, EIA electricity rates, and Consumer Confidence Reports. Last updated: 2026-08-31.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EPA Radon Zone 1?
Zone 1 is the EPA highest county-level radon-potential category. It is not a measurement for a home and cannot determine whether a building is above an action level. A home test is required for that decision.
Should I test for radon?
The EPA recommends testing all homes regardless of radon zone. A DIY test kit costs $15-40. Professional testing costs $150-250. If levels exceed 4 pCi/L, mitigation systems ($800-2,500) can reduce radon by up to 99%.
