ZIP 14111 (Erie County, New York): predicted long-term basement average of 2.8 pCi/L (model estimate), about 1.3× the average US ZIP (2.2) and about 2.0× the New York average (1.4).

Test ZIP 14111 - the EPA says "consider fixing" in this range

The predicted basement average here is 2.8 pCi/L, in the 2-4 pCi/L band where the EPA recommends considering mitigation. Plenty of individual homes in a moderate area test above 4. Start with a short-term test; if it comes back at 2 or higher, follow up with a long-term test or a continuous monitor.

Already tested at 4 pCi/L or higher? Find a certified mitigation professional (EPA). A mitigation system typically runs $800-$2,500 installed.

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.

Do I need to test my home in 14111?
Yes. 14111's predicted average falls in the EPA's 2-4 pCi/L "consider fixing" band, and a meaningful share of individual homes in such areas test above 4. Test with a short-term kit and confirm anything at 2 or higher with a long-term test.
What EPA radon zone is ZIP 14111 in?
ZIP 14111 lies mostly in Erie County, which the EPA classifies as Radon Zone 1 (highest potential (predicted average > 4 pCi/L)). Zones are county-wide and date from 1993; the ZIP-level prediction above is from a 2001-2021 model built on millions of tests.

ZIP pages are generated for ZIPs predicted at or above 2.5 pCi/L and for the most populous ZIP in each county; all other ZIPs appear in their county table. Methodology.
