Radon levels in Clark County, Nevada
LowEPA Zone 3Predicted long-term basement average of 1.8 pCi/L (model estimate) across 67 ZIP codes - close to the US average of 1.8, close to the Nevada average of 1.9. Ranked #17 of 17 Nevada counties.
Test Clark County, NV once anyway - radon varies house to house
The predicted basement average here is 1.8 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 Clark
The typical Clark 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 1.5 to 2.1 pCi/L.
The 1993 EPA zone (3) and the 2001-2021 model agree for Clark. County figures weight each ZIP by its 2010 Census population, so they describe where people live rather than empty land.
Comparable Nevada counties: Storey County (1.9), Nye County (2.0), Washoe County (2.2), Churchill County (2.3). The state's highest is White Pine County at 3.0 pCi/L.

If your test comes back at 4 pCi/L or higher
Mitigation is a routine job: a fan-driven pipe that vents soil gas from under the slab to above the roofline, typically $800-$2,500 installed (typical range; local quotes vary). Use certified professionals: EPA find-a-professional. Read the full mitigation guide.
Clark County radon questions
- Is radon high in Clark County, Nevada?
- Low. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 1.8 pCi/L in Clark County (close to the US average of 1.8 and close to the Nevada average of 1.9). That is below the EPA's 2 pCi/L "consider fixing" threshold, though individual homes still vary. Ranked 17 of 17 Nevada counties.
- Should I test for radon in Clark County?
- Yes, once. The EPA recommends testing every home regardless of area, and the model's ZIP-level predictions in Clark County already range from 1.5 to 2.1 pCi/L. A short-term kit costs little and settles the question for your house.
- What does EPA Radon Zone 3 mean for Clark County?
- Zone 3 - low potential (< 2 pCi/L). The zone map dates from 1993 and classifies whole counties. The 2001-2021 model agrees with the zone here. Neither replaces a test of your own home.
- How much does radon mitigation cost in Clark County?
- A standard active sub-slab depressurization system typically runs $800-$2,500 installed nationally; Nevada quotes vary with foundation type (slab, crawlspace, basement), home size and local labor. Get two or three bids from certified mitigators listed by your state radon program or the EPA's find-a-professional page.
