Information:
Radon data is published by county, not by city
Radon data is published by county, not by city. EPA assigns radon zones to counties, and CDC publishes radon test figures by county. Neither publishes a figure for Manhattan, so every radon figure on this page belongs to a county and is labelled with it. Only a test tells you about one home.
Each county has its own CDC test figures, shown below side by side. About 54,673 people live in Manhattan.

Manhattan, Questions
Questions about radon in Manhattan
What radon zone is Manhattan in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Pottawatomie County and Riley County are in Zone 1 (highest predicted potential). A zone is a prediction for a whole county and never tells you the level in one home.
How many radon tests come back high in Manhattan's counties?
For 2022, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 25.2% in Pottawatomie County (206 tests) and 31.3% in Riley County (800 tests). Each is that county's own figure, counting tests reported to CDC, not homes. Radon411 does not average or combine them into a figure for the city.
Should I test my home in Manhattan?
Yes. Testing is the only way to know the radon level in a specific building. EPA recommends fixing a home when the radon level is 4 pCi/L or higher. EPA recommends considering a fix when the level is between 2 and 4 pCi/L. How to test a home.
The answers use the published figures of Pottawatomie County and Riley County, the counties Manhattan lies in.
