Test Warner Robins, GA once anyway - radon varies house to house

The predicted basement average here is 1.5 pCi/L, below the EPA's 2 pCi/L "consider fixing" threshold. That's good news for the area - but the EPA still recommends every home be tested, because foundation cracks, soil pockets and ventilation make one house very different from its neighbor. One inexpensive kit settles it.

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 Warner Robins

The typical Warner Robins home is predicted below 2 pCi/L, the lowest band. That describes the average house; the ZIP-level predictions inside the city still span 1.4 to 1.6 pCi/L.

The city figure is not a separate estimate: it is the mean of the model's ZIP-code predictions, weighted by the share of the city's land in each ZIP (Census 2020 ZCTA-to-place relationship file). The 1993 EPA zone (3) for Houston and the 2001-2021 model agree here.

Comparable Georgia cities: Macon (1.5), Albany (1.5), Valdosta (1.4), Augusta (1.4).

Testing help in Georgia

We link only state program pages we could verify, and Georgia's did not respond when we checked, so start from the EPA state radon contacts page. If a test comes back at 4 pCi/L or higher, mitigation typically costs $800-$2,500 installed; use EPA find-a-professional and read the mitigation guide.

Warner Robins radon questions

Is radon high in Warner Robins, Georgia?
Low. Averaging the model's ZIP-code predictions across Warner Robins (weighted by how much of the city each ZIP covers) gives a long-term basement mean of 1.5 pCi/L - about 19% below the US average of 1.8 and about 21% below the Georgia average of 1.9. That is below the EPA's 2 pCi/L "consider fixing" threshold, though individual homes still vary. Warner Robins ranks 16 of 21 Georgia cities on this site.
Which Warner Robins ZIP codes have the highest radon?
Predictions for the 7 modeled ZIP codes in Warner Robins range from 1.4 to 1.6 pCi/L in the basement. 0% of them are predicted at or above 4 pCi/L and 0% at or above 2. The city is fairly uniform, so the city-wide number is a reasonable guide for any neighborhood.
Should I test for radon in Warner Robins?
Yes, once. The EPA recommends testing every home regardless of area. A short-term kit costs little and settles the question for your house; Warner Robins's low predicted average describes the typical home, not yours.
What does EPA Radon Zone 3 mean for Warner Robins?
Warner Robins sits mainly in Houston County, which the EPA classifies as Zone 3 - low potential (< 2 pCi/L). The zone map dates from 1993 and covers whole counties. The 2001-2021 model agrees with the zone for the city. Neither replaces a test of your own home.
