Radon tests reported for Crawford County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 2 reported tests for Crawford County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.2 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Crawford County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 2 tests were reported to CDC for Crawford 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).
Crawford County, Compared
Crawford County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Crawford County rests on 7 tests over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, 1 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 14.3 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 4.2 pCi/L, with a middle value of 1.2 pCi/L.
Of the counties bordering it, 3 have a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals: Monroe County reported the largest share at or above 4 pCi/L, 23.8%, and Bibb County the smallest, 0.0%, with Houston County at 8.2% between. Farther out, Jones County (33 miles away) at 26.5%, Spalding County (41 miles away) at 33.0% and Henry County (52 miles away) at 21.5% 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 Crawford 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 Crawford County
PredictedMost of the ground under Crawford County is one class on USGS's geologic map: 99.9% of its land is low radon potential, with 0.1% moderate. The map puts 59.2% of Crawford County in the area it calls Coastal Plain and 40.8% in Little River Thrust Stack. USGS gives the first a radon index of 8 and the second 7, both 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 | 59.2% |
| Little River Thrust Stack | Biotite and amphibolite gneiss, granite gneiss, mica schist. | Low | 7 | 40.8% |
