The data
Columbus, What is published
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 Columbus, 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 938,396 people live in Columbus.
Columbus, Counties
Each county's own EPA zone and its own published CDC figures for 2008 to 2017, laboratory, the newest period any of them has. A county without a figure for that period is shown without one, never with a figure from another year.
| County | EPA zone | Reported tests at or above 4 pCi/L | Median reported result | Tests reported | Annual years on file |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delaware County | Zone 1: Highest predicted potential | 72.2% | 6.4 pCi/L | 3,730 tests | 0 |
| Fairfield County | Zone 1: Highest predicted potential | 76.8% | 7.4 pCi/L | 1,175 tests | 0 |
| Franklin County | Zone 1: Highest predicted potential | 71.9% | 6.8 pCi/L | 16,142 tests | 0 |
The median reported pre-mitigation result for 2008 to 2017, laboratory was 6.4 pCi/L in Delaware County, 7.4 pCi/L in Fairfield County and 6.8 pCi/L in Franklin County.
CDC counts radon tests that were reported to it, not homes, and figures from few tests can swing widely from year to year. Each county’s report has its full history.

What it means
Columbus, Questions
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Delaware County, Fairfield County and Franklin 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.
For 2008 to 2017, laboratory, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 72.2% in Delaware County (3,730 tests), 76.8% in Fairfield County (1,175 tests) and 71.9% in Franklin County (16,142 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.
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 Delaware County, Fairfield County and Franklin County, the counties Columbus lies in.
