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 Topeka, so every radon figure on this page belongs to a county and is labelled with it. Only a test tells you about one home.
Shawnee County has an EPA zone and its own CDC test figures, shown below. About 125,795 people live in Topeka.

Topeka, Questions
Questions about radon in Topeka
What radon zone is Topeka in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Shawnee County is in Zone 2 (moderate 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 Topeka's counties?
For 2022, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 34.5% in Shawnee County (388 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 Topeka?
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 Shawnee County, the county Topeka lies in.
