Radon tests reported for Coffee County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 6 reported tests for Coffee County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.4 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Coffee County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 6 tests were reported to CDC for Coffee County over 2008 to 2017 (laboratory totals), and tests are often run on homes being sold or already suspected of a problem: so few describe neither the county nor this house.
Measured: CDC tracking data. Figure above: 2008 to 2017, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2017 (every CDC figure on file).
Coffee County, Compared
Coffee County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Coffee County rests on 6 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 1 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 16.7 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 6.3 pCi/L, with a middle value of 2.4 pCi/L.
The nearest counties with a figure are Montgomery County (58 miles away) at 9.7%, Elmore County (83 miles away) at 22.2% and Autauga County (87 miles away) at 17.1%. Pooled across 65 Alabama counties, 21.9% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.7%.
Statewide for the same period, Colbert County reported the highest share (36.2%) and Baldwin County the lowest (0.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Coffee County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 100% of the county's land low radon potential.
Pooled shares: Radon411's sum of CDC's county counts for one period.
Coffee County, Geology
The ground under Coffee County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Coffee County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Coastal Plain, to which USGS gives a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal Plain | Marly sandy clay, chalk, and glauconitic sands. | Low | 7 | 100% |

Coffee County beside the ground around it
Across Alabama 14.3% of the land is rated high; none of Coffee County's is. Of the 5 counties that border it, 2 have more moderate-potential ground, Pike County the most at 46.3%.
The map rates the ground, not the air in any home.

Coffee County, Cities and towns
Cities and towns in Coffee County
Coffee County is growing: the Census Bureau puts it at 56,953 residents on July 1, 2025, up 6.3% from 53,571 in 2020. That works out to 84 people per square mile of land. Enterprise, the largest place on its list (31,211 residents in all), extends beyond Coffee County, so no share of the total is worked out for it. Reported testing is thin here: 6 tests over 2008 to 2017, or 0.1 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Alabama as a whole comes to 2.4.
From Enterprise to Kinston, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Coffee County's.
| Place | Residents | Since 2020 | Share of residents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterpriseextends beyond Coffee County | 31,211 | +8.2% | Counted whole |
| Elba | 3,408 | −1.7% | 6.0% |
| New Brockton | 1,512 | +5.6% | 2.7% |

4 incorporated places, as listed in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 place reference files. Residents: U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for July 1, 2025 (Vintage 2025). A place that extends beyond Coffee County is counted whole, so it has no share.
