Is radon high in Yavapai County, Arizona?

Moderate. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 2.1 pCi/L in Yavapai County (about 1.2× the US average of 1.8 and about 1.2× the Arizona average of 1.7). That is in the 2-4 pCi/L range where the EPA recommends considering mitigation. Ranked 6 of 15 Arizona counties.

Should I test for radon in Yavapai County?

Yes, soon. With a predicted average of 2.1 pCi/L, many homes in Yavapai County will test above the 4 pCi/L action level. Use a short-term kit first; if it reads 2 or higher, confirm with a long-term test or continuous monitor before deciding on mitigation.

What does EPA Radon Zone 2 mean for Yavapai County?

Zone 2 - moderate potential (2-4 pCi/L). The zone map dates from 1993 and classifies whole counties. The 2001-2021 model agrees with the zone here. Neither replaces a test of your own home.

How much does radon mitigation cost in Yavapai County?

A standard active sub-slab depressurization system typically runs $800-$2,500 installed nationally; Arizona quotes vary with foundation type (slab, crawlspace, basement), home size and local labor.

Predicted (model estimate). The pCi/L figures on this page are long-term area averages from a peer-reviewed national model built on millions of real radon tests (2001-2021). They describe the typical home in this area - not your home, which can be several times higher or lower. The EPA radon zone is a separate, 1993 county-level classification. How the numbers work.

What this means for Yavapai

The typical Yavapai County home is predicted in the 2-4 pCi/L band. The EPA's guidance for this range is to consider fixing, because there is no known safe level and roughly one home in several in a moderate area will test above 4.

The 1993 EPA zone (2) and the 2001-2021 model agree for Yavapai. County figures weight each ZIP by its 2010 Census population, so they describe where people live rather than empty land.

Comparable Arizona counties: Apache County (2.1), Graham County (2.2), Greenlee County (2.0), Santa Cruz County (2.0). The state's highest is Coconino County at 2.3 pCi/L.
