Radon tests reported for Haralson County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 22 reported tests for Haralson County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.1 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Haralson County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 22 tests were reported to CDC for Haralson 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).
Haralson County, Compared
Haralson County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Haralson County rests on 22 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 7 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 4.5 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 11.8 pCi/L, with a middle value of 2.1 pCi/L.
Of the counties bordering it, 3 have a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals: Carroll County reported the largest share at or above 4 pCi/L, 37.6%, and Cleburne County, AL the smallest, 17.7%, with Paulding County at 22.5% between. Farther out, Douglas County (26 miles away) at 44.5%, Floyd County (32 miles away) at 17.1% and Bartow County (37 miles away) at 23.5% 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 Haralson County in Zone 2, its middle label: a predicted county average between 2 and 4 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 100% of the county's land moderate radon potential.
Pooled shares: Radon411's sum of CDC's county counts for one period.

Cities and towns in Haralson County
Haralson County is growing: the Census Bureau puts it at 33,066 residents on July 1, 2025, up 10.0% from 30,050 in 2020. That works out to 117 people per square mile of land. Bremen, the largest place on its list (7,751 residents in all), extends beyond Haralson County, so no share of the total is worked out for it. Reported testing is thin here: 22 tests over 2008 to 2017, or 0.7 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Georgia as a whole comes to 2.7.
From Bremen to Waco, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Haralson County's.
