Is radon high in Dublin, Ohio?

High. Averaging the model's ZIP-code predictions across Dublin (weighted by how much of the city each ZIP covers) gives a long-term basement mean of 4.2 pCi/L - about 2.3× the US average of 1.8 and about 1.5× the Ohio average of 2.8. That is at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. Dublin ranks 4 of 27 Ohio cities on this site.

Which Dublin ZIP codes have the highest radon?

Predictions for the 2 modeled ZIP codes in Dublin range from 3.8 to 4.6 pCi/L in the basement. 50% of them are predicted at or above 4 pCi/L and 100% 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 Dublin?

Yes, soon. With a predicted basement average of 4.2 pCi/L and ZIPs predicted as high as 4.6, a meaningful share of Dublin homes will test above the 4 pCi/L action level. Start with a short-term kit; if it reads 2 or higher, confirm with a long-term test or a continuous monitor before paying for mitigation.

What does EPA Radon Zone 1 mean for Dublin?

Dublin sits mainly in Franklin County, which the EPA classifies as Zone 1 - highest potential (predicted average > 4 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.

Radon levels in Dublin, Ohio

HighEPA Zone 1

Predicted long-term basement average of 4.2 pCi/L (model estimate) across the 2 modeled ZIP codes in Dublin - about 2.3× the US average of 1.8, about 1.5× the Ohio average of 2.8. Ranked #4 of 27 Ohio cities on this site. Most of the city lies in Franklin County.

Test Dublin, OH now - and consider a continuous monitor

The model predicts a long-term basement average of 4.2 pCi/L here, at or above the EPA action level of 4. Homes in the same ZIP still vary widely, so a real test is the only way to know your number. A continuous digital monitor shows how your level swings with weather and season, which matters when you're near the action level.

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 Dublin

The typical home in Dublin is predicted to sit at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L in the basement. A large share of houses here would qualify for mitigation if tested, and buyers routinely ask for radon tests in Ohio transactions.

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 (1) for Franklin and the 2001-2021 model agree here.

Comparable Ohio cities: Columbus (4.3), Mansfield (3.9), Springfield (3.6), Delaware (4.9).
