Radon tests reported for Craig County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 2 reported tests for Craig County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 2.6 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Craig County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 2 tests were reported to CDC for Craig County over 2008 to 2017 (laboratory totals), and tests are often run on homes being sold or already suspected of a problem: so few describe neither the county nor this house.
Measured: CDC tracking data. Figure above: 2008 to 2017, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2017 (every CDC figure on file).
Craig County, Compared
Craig County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Craig County rests on 3 tests over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, 1 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 33.3 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 5.7 pCi/L, with a middle value of 3.7 pCi/L.
Delaware County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, reported 44.7% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Washington County (39 miles away) at 11.3%, Cherokee County (60 miles away) at 32.0% and Tulsa County (60 miles away) at 6.0% have figures too. Pooled across 53 Oklahoma counties, 12.6% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 36.3%.
Statewide for the same period, Delaware County reported the highest share (44.7%) and Tulsa County the lowest (6.0%). EPA's 1993 map puts Craig County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 94% of the county's land low radon potential.

Craig County, Geology
The ground under Craig County
PredictedMost of the ground under Craig County is one class on USGS's geologic map: 94.1% of its land is low radon potential, with 5.9% moderate. The map puts 94.1% of Craig County in the area it calls Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills and 5.9% in Ozark Plateau. USGS gives the first a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8), and the second 9, in the moderate band (9 to 11).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills | Nonmarine Permian and Tertiary rocks, including shale, sandstone, and conglomerate in the western part, and Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks in the eastern part. | Low | 7 | 94.1% |
| Ozark Plateau | Mississippian and Pennsylvanian limestone and shale. | Moderate | 9 | 5.9% |
