Is radon high in Le Flore County, Oklahoma?

Low. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 1.8 pCi/L in Le Flore County (close to the US average of 1.8 and close to the Oklahoma average of 1.8). That is below the EPA's 2 pCi/L "consider fixing" threshold, though individual homes still vary. Ranked 49 of 77 Oklahoma counties.

Should I test for radon in Le Flore County?

Yes, once. The EPA recommends testing every home regardless of area, and the model's ZIP-level predictions in Le Flore County already range from 1.6 to 2.0 pCi/L. A short-term kit costs little and settles the question for your house.

What does EPA Radon Zone 3 mean for Le Flore 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.

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.
