Radon tests reported for Beauregard Parish, 2019
| Year | Share of reported tests at or above 4 pCi/L |
|---|---|
| 2015 | 0.0% |
| 2017 | 0.0% |
| 2019 | 0.0% |
2019: 0.0%. Across these years the share ran from 0.0% to 0.0%. Each column counts radon tests reported to CDC that year, not homes.
What these figures count
Only 3 tests were reported to CDC for Beauregard Parish over 2019, and tests are often run on homes being sold or already suspected of a problem: so few describe neither the parish nor this house.
Measured: CDC tracking data. Figure above: 2019. Measured data period: 2015 to 2019 (every CDC figure on file).
Beauregard Parish, Compared
Beauregard Parish radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Beauregard Parish rests on 12 tests in 2017, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 8.3 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 3.8 pCi/L, with a middle value of 1.3 pCi/L.
Calcasieu Parish, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, reported 0.0% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, East Baton Rouge Parish (134 miles away) at 0.0%, Tangipahoa Parish (175 miles away) at 0.0% and Jefferson Parish (201 miles away) at 1.5% have figures too. Pooled across 37 Louisiana counties, 2.8% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 36.3%.
Statewide for the same period, Jefferson Parish reported the highest share (1.5%) and Tangipahoa Parish the lowest (0.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Beauregard Parish 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.

The ground under Beauregard Parish
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Beauregard Parish's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Terraces and Prairies, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraces and Prairies | Clay, sandy clay, silt, sand, and some gravel. | Low | 8 | 99.9% |

Beauregard Parish beside the ground around it
Neither Beauregard Parish nor Louisiana as a whole has any land USGS rates above low potential. None of the 5 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.

Beauregard Parish, Cities and towns
Cities and towns in Beauregard Parish

That works out to 32 people per square mile of land. DeRidder, the largest place on its list (9,503 residents in all), extends beyond Beauregard Parish, so no share of the total is worked out for it. CDC's 12 reported tests for 2017 work out to 0.3 per 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), close to Louisiana's 0.3.
From DeRidder to Merryville, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Beauregard Parish's.

2 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 Beauregard Parish is counted whole, so it has no share.
