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 Dayton, 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 136,688 people live in Dayton.

What it means
Dayton, Questions
Questions about radon in Dayton
What radon zone is Dayton in?
EPA's Map of Radon Zones classifies counties, not cities. Greene County and Montgomery 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.
How many radon tests come back high in Dayton's counties?
For 2008 to 2017, laboratory, the share of radon tests reported to CDC that were at or above 4 pCi/L was 58.6% in Greene County (2,602 tests) and 50.3% in Montgomery County (2,922 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 Dayton?
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 Greene County and Montgomery County, the counties Dayton lies in.
