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 Sunrise Manor

The typical Sunrise Manor home is predicted below 2 pCi/L, the lowest band. That describes the average house; the ZIP-level predictions inside the city still span 1.7 to 1.9 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 census-designated place's land in each ZIP (Census 2020 ZCTA-to-place relationship file). The 1993 EPA zone (3) for Clark and the 2001-2021 model agree here.

Comparable Nevada cities: North Las Vegas (1.8), Las Vegas (1.8), Henderson (1.7), Paradise (1.7).

Sunrise Manor radon questions

Is radon high in Sunrise Manor, Nevada?

Which Sunrise Manor ZIP codes have the highest radon?

Should I test for radon in Sunrise Manor?
Yes, once. The EPA recommends testing every home regardless of area. A short-term kit costs little and settles the question for your house; Sunrise Manor's low predicted average describes the typical home, not yours.
