Radon tests reported for Peach County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 3 reported tests for Peach County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 4.3 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Peach County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 3 tests were reported to CDC for Peach 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).
Peach County, Compared
Peach County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Peach County rests on 3 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 2 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 4.6 pCi/L, with a middle value of 4.3 pCi/L.
Houston County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, reported 8.2% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Bibb County (18 miles away) at 0.0%, Monroe County (31 miles away) at 23.8% and Jones County (35 miles away) at 26.5% 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 Peach 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.

Peach County, Geology
The ground under Peach County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Peach 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% |

Peach County beside the ground around it
Across Georgia 26.5% of the land is rated moderate; none of Peach County's is. Of the 4 counties that border it, 1 has more moderate-potential ground, Crawford County the most at 0.1%.

Peach County, Cities and towns
Cities and towns in Peach County
Peach County is growing: the Census Bureau puts it at 29,877 residents on July 1, 2025, up 6.5% from 28,059 in 2020. That works out to 199 people per square mile of land. Warner Robins, the largest place on its list (87,761 residents in all), extends beyond Peach County, so no share of the total is worked out for it. Reported testing is thin here: 3 tests over 2008 to 2017, or 0.1 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Georgia as a whole comes to 2.7.
From Warner Robins to Byron, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Peach County's.

4 incorporated places, as listed in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 place reference files. Residents: U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for July 1, 2025 (Vintage 2025). A place that extends beyond Peach County is counted whole, so it has no share.
