Is radon high in Campbell County, Kentucky?

Low. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 1.7 pCi/L in Campbell County (close to the US average of 1.8 and about 31% below the Kentucky average of 2.5). That is below the EPA's 2 pCi/L "consider fixing" threshold, though individual homes still vary. Ranked 112 of 120 Kentucky counties.

Should I test for radon in Campbell County?

Yes, once. The EPA recommends testing every home regardless of area, and the model's ZIP-level predictions in Campbell County already range from 1.4 to 1.9 pCi/L. A short-term kit costs little and settles the question for your house.

What does EPA Radon Zone 2 mean for Campbell County?

Zone 2 - moderate potential (2-4 pCi/L). The zone map dates from 1993 and classifies whole counties. The newer model's predicted average of 1.7 pCi/L does not line up with Zone 2, which is common - the EPA itself says high-radon homes exist in every zone. Neither replaces a test of your own home.

How much does radon mitigation cost in Campbell County?

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

The predicted basement average here is 1.7 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 Campbell

The typical Campbell County home is predicted below 2 pCi/L, the lowest band. That is the best case an area can show - but it describes the average house, and the ZIP-level predictions within the county still span 1.4 to 1.9 pCi/L.

Note that the EPA classifies Campbell County as Zone 2 while the newer model predicts 1.7 pCi/L. The zone map predates two decades of test data; where they disagree, we grade on the model but show both. County figures weight each ZIP by its 2010 Census population, so they describe where people live rather than empty land.

Comparable Kentucky counties: Todd County (1.7), Ballard County (1.7), Calloway County (1.7), Marshall County (1.6). The state's highest is Jessamine County at 3.7 pCi/L.
