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 Lincoln
The typical home in Lincoln County is predicted to sit at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L in the basement. In practice that means a large share of houses here would qualify for mitigation if tested, and buyers routinely ask for radon tests in Wyoming transactions.
The 1993 EPA zone (1) and the 2001-2021 model agree for Lincoln. County figures weight each ZIP by its 2010 Census population, so they describe where people live rather than empty land.

Lincoln County radon questions
- Is radon high in Lincoln County, Wyoming?
- High. The model predicts a long-term basement average of 4.1 pCi/L in Lincoln County (about 2.3× the US average of 1.8 and about 1.4× the Wyoming average of 3.0). That is at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L, so the typical home here would qualify for mitigation. Ranked 1 of 23 Wyoming counties.
- Should I test for radon in Lincoln County?
- Yes, soon. With a predicted average of 4.1 pCi/L and at least one ZIP predicted at 6.0, many homes in Lincoln 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 1 mean for Lincoln County?
- Zone 1 - highest potential (predicted average > 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.
- How much does radon mitigation cost in Lincoln County?
- A standard active sub-slab depressurization system typically runs $800-$2,500 installed nationally; Wyoming 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.
