Is radon high in Lehi, Utah?

Moderate. Averaging the model's ZIP-code predictions across Lehi (weighted by how much of the city each ZIP covers) gives a long-term basement mean of 2.3 pCi/L - about 1.3× the US average of 1.8 and close to the Utah average of 2.3. That is in the 2-4 pCi/L range where the EPA says to consider fixing. Lehi ranks 10 of 22 Utah cities on this site.

Which Lehi ZIP codes have the highest radon?

Predictions for the 3 modeled ZIP codes in Lehi range from 2.1 to 3.2 pCi/L in the basement. 0% of them are predicted at or above 4 pCi/L and 100% at or above 2. That spread is why the ZIP table below matters more than the city-wide number.

Should I test for radon in Lehi?

Yes, soon. With a predicted basement average of 2.3 pCi/L, a meaningful share of Lehi 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 2 mean for Lehi?

Lehi sits mainly in Utah County, which the EPA classifies as Zone 2 - moderate potential (2-4 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.

ModerateEPA Zone 2

Predicted long-term basement average of 2.3 pCi/L (model estimate) across the 3 modeled ZIP codes in Lehi - about 1.3× the US average of 1.8, close to the Utah average of 2.3. Ranked #10 of 22 Utah cities on this site. Most of the city lies in Utah County.

Test Lehi, UT - the EPA says "consider fixing" in this range

The predicted basement average here is 2.3 pCi/L, in the 2-4 pCi/L band where the EPA recommends considering mitigation. Plenty of individual homes in a moderate area test above 4. Start with a short-term test; if it comes back at 2 or higher, follow up with a long-term test or a continuous monitor.

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 Lehi

The typical Lehi 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 a meaningful minority of homes in a moderate area will test above 4.

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 (2) for Utah and the 2001-2021 model agree here.

Comparable Utah cities: Spanish Fork (2.3), Orem (2.4), Taylorsville (2.3), Herriman (2.4).
