Methodology

Radon rankings are based on EPA county-level radon zone classifications. Zone 1 (highest risk) has predicted average indoor radon levels above 4 pCi/L — the EPA action level. Zone 2 is moderate (2-4 pCi/L) and Zone 3 is low (below 2 pCi/L). Within Zone 1, ZIP codes are sub-ranked by Home Safety Score to prioritize areas with compounding risk factors.

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: 2026-06-04.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EPA Radon Zone 1?

Zone 1 is the EPA highest-risk classification, meaning the county has predicted average indoor radon levels above 4 pCi/L — the level at which the EPA recommends mitigation. Radon causes about 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the U.S.

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%.
