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 Binghamton, so every radon figure on this page belongs to a county and is labelled with it. Only a test tells you about one home.

Broome County has an EPA zone and its own CDC test figures, shown below. About 46,418 people live in Binghamton.

How many radon tests come back high in Binghamton's counties?

For 2023, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 25.0% in Broome County. 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 Binghamton?

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.
