Is radon high in Warren County, Pennsylvania?

Moderate. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 2.4 pCi/L in Warren County (about 1.3× the US average of 1.8 and close to the Pennsylvania average of 2.3). That is in the 2-4 pCi/L range where the EPA recommends considering mitigation. Ranked 51 of 67 Pennsylvania counties.

Should I test for radon in Warren County?

Yes, soon. With a predicted average of 2.4 pCi/L, many homes in Warren County will test above the 4 pCi/L action level. Use a short-term kit first; if it reads 2 or higher, confirm with a long-term test or continuous monitor before deciding on mitigation.

What does EPA Radon Zone 2 mean for Warren County?

Zone 2 - moderate potential (2-4 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.

What this means for Warren

The typical Warren County 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 roughly one home in several in a moderate area will test above 4.

The 1993 EPA zone (2) and the 2001-2021 model agree for Warren. County figures weight each ZIP by its 2010 Census population, so they describe where people live rather than empty land.

Comparable Pennsylvania counties: Lawrence County (2.4), Somerset County (2.4), Westmoreland County (2.4), Susquehanna County (2.4). The state's highest is Lebanon County at 4.8 pCi/L.
