Radon tests reported for Jasper County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 22 reported tests for Jasper County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.3 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Jasper County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 22 tests were reported to CDC for Jasper 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).
Jasper County, Compared
Jasper County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Jasper County rests on 26 tests over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, 5 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 3.8 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 22.7 pCi/L, with a middle value of 2.2 pCi/L.
Of the counties bordering it, 5 have a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals: Putnam County reported the largest share at or above 4 pCi/L, 27.3%, and Morgan County the smallest, 17.2%, with Jones County at 26.5%, Newton County at 25.3% and Monroe County at 23.8% between. Farther out, Henry County (29 miles away) at 21.5%, Rockdale County (30 miles away) at 29.3% and Walton County (32 miles away) at 40.2% 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 Jasper County in Zone 2, its middle label: a predicted county average between 2 and 4 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 54% of the county's land moderate radon potential.

Jasper County, Geology
The ground under Jasper County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map splits Jasper County: 53.9% of its land is moderate radon potential and 46.1% low. The map puts 53.9% of Jasper County in the area it calls Georgiabama Thrust Stack (South) and 46.1% in Little River Thrust Stack. USGS gives the first a radon index of 9, in the moderate band (9 to 11), and the second 7, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Georgiabama Thrust Stack (South) | Schist, amphibolite and granite. | Moderate | 9 | 53.9% |
| Little River Thrust Stack | Biotite and amphibolite gneiss, granite gneiss, mica schist. | Low | 7 | 46.1% |

Jasper County beside the ground around it
Jasper County has more moderate-potential ground than Georgia as a whole: 53.9% of its land against 26.5%. Of the 6 counties that border it, 4 have more moderate-potential ground, Newton County the most at 100%.

Cities and towns in Jasper County
Jasper County is growing: the Census Bureau puts it at 17,632 residents on July 1, 2025, up 20.2% from 14,671 in 2020. That works out to 48 people per square mile of land. No town dominates: Monticello, the largest, has 3,040 residents, 17.2% of the total. Together its 2 incorporated places hold 18.9% of those residents; the other 81.1% live outside any of them. Reported testing is thin here: 26 tests over 2007 to 2016, or 1.5 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Georgia as a whole comes to 2.6.
From Monticello to Shady Dale, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Jasper County's.
