Radon tests reported for Chattahoochee County, 2007 to 2016, laboratory
CDC holds 2 reported tests for Chattahoochee County over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, with a median of 0.9 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Chattahoochee County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 2 tests were reported to CDC for Chattahoochee County over 2007 to 2016 (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: 2007 to 2016, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2016 (every CDC figure on file).

Chattahoochee County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Chattahoochee County rests on 3 tests over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 33.3 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 1.4 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.5 pCi/L.
Muscogee County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 2.1% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Harris County (28 miles away) at 10.9%, Troup County (49 miles away) at 27.9% and Dougherty County (65 miles away) at 0.0% have figures too. Pooled across 137 Georgia counties, 23.9% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.
Statewide for the same period, Barrow County reported the highest share (51.0%) and Dougherty County the lowest (0.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Chattahoochee 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 Chattahoochee County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Chattahoochee 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 8, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal Plain | Cretaceous and Tertiary marine and coastal sediments including limestone, sandstone, sand, silt, and clay. Coastal plan sands containing glauconite may generate locally elevated radon. | Low | 8 | 100% |
