Woodruff County, Compared
Woodruff County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's county radon counts over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals cover 60 Arkansas counties, and Woodruff County is not among them: no year's figure and no ten-year laboratory total names it. Pooled across 60 Arkansas counties, 22.7% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.
The nearest counties with a figure are Pulaski County (67 miles away) at 6.8%, Saline County (89 miles away) at 31.9% and Garland County (116 miles away) at 45.8%. Statewide for the same period, Garland County reported the highest share (45.8%) and Pulaski County the lowest (6.8%).
EPA's 1993 map puts Woodruff 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.

The ground under Woodruff County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Woodruff County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Mississippi Alluvial Plain, to which USGS gives a radon index of 8, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mississippi Alluvial Plain | Alluvial sand, silt, gravel, and clay. | Low | 8 | 100% |
