Test ZIP 77954 once anyway - radon varies house to house
The predicted basement average here is 1.5 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.

How 77954 compares
Within DeWitt County, ZIP 77954 ranks #4 of 6 ZIPs by predicted basement level; the county average is 1.5 pCi/L and its ZIPs run from 1.4 to 1.6. The county is EPA Radon Zone 3. About 11,506 people lived in this ZIP at the 2010 Census.
Both basement (1.5) and upstairs (0.7) predictions are under 2 pCi/L. That is reassuring for the area, but the model's own uncertainty (± 0.07) and house-to-house variation mean a test is still the only way to know your home.
