Radon Levels in Menominee County, Michigan
EPA puts Menominee County in Zone 2, its middle radon zone, and most reported tests there come back low, though 11.7% of 120 (2008 to 2017, laboratory totals) reached 4 pCi/L. Homes with elevated levels occur in all three zones, so only a test measures yours.

Menominee County, Compared
Menominee County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411Menominee County reports fewer high tests than Michigan overall. 11.7% of its 120 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals were at or above 4 pCi/L. That is 15.2 points below the 26.9% pooled from 83 Michigan counties.
Ordered from highest share down, it comes 62nd of 82 Michigan counties with 30 or more tests for the same period. Nationally, every county with a figure for the same period pools to 35.7%; Menominee County sits 24.0 points below it.
Next door, the shares run from 21.5% in Delta County to 39.3% in Dickinson County. Zone 2 on EPA's map (predicted average between 2 and 4 pCi/L) and a 11.7% share point the same way here.
Half the tests came in under 1.2 pCi/L and half over it; the single highest reached 10.3 pCi/L. The rest split 61.7% under 2 pCi/L and 26.7% from 2 to 4 (Michigan: 46.4% and 26.7%).
CDC's ten-year totals for Menominee County went from 113 tests (2005 to 2014) to 120 (2008 to 2017), the share going from 8.0% to 11.7%.

- EGLE does not publish figures for a ZIP code with fewer than 5 test results.
- EGLE says the map is not intended to decide whether a home should be tested: all homes should be tested.
- ZIP code boundaries are postal delivery areas, not legal or administrative boundaries.
- A ZIP code that crosses the county line is listed whole; its figures cover all of it.

USGS gives the first a radon index of 10, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outer Michigan Basin | Glacial deposits derived from Paleozoic carbonate rocks and sandstones. | Moderate | 10 | 91.1% |
| Glacial Lakes | Silt and clay glacial lake deposits. | Low | 7 | 8.3% |
