Radon Levels in Creek County, Oklahoma

Radon tests reported for Creek County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 10 reported tests for Creek County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 0.8 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Creek County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 10 tests were reported to CDC for Creek 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).
Creek County, Compared
Creek County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Creek County rests on 10 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 10.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 2.5 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.8 pCi/L.
Tulsa County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, reported 6.0% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Washington County (62 miles away) at 11.3%, Oklahoma County (63 miles away) at 8.9% and Cherokee County (77 miles away) at 32.0% 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 Creek County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 100% of the county's land low radon potential.

Creek County, Geology
The ground under Creek County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Creek County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills, to which USGS gives a radon index of 7, in the low band (5 to 8).
| 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 | 100% |

Creek County beside the ground around it
Across Oklahoma 0.6% of the land is rated high; none of Creek County's is. None of the 6 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.
The map rates the ground, not the air in any home.

Testing a home in Creek County
No CDC figure names Creek County; the nearest county with one, Tulsa County (28 miles away), reported 6.0% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, the only reading nearby until a test of this home. Zone 3 is the lowest label, yet homes at or above 4 pCi/L occur in every zone: a short-term kit (2 to 90 days) is the quick first check in Creek County.

Creek County, Cities and towns
Cities and towns in Creek County
The Census Bureau estimates 74,967 residents in Creek County for July 1, 2025, 3,124 more than in 2020 (+4.3%). That works out to 79 people per square mile of land. Sapulpa, the largest place on its list (23,695 residents in all), extends beyond Creek County, so no share of the total is worked out for it. CDC's 10 reported tests for 2008 to 2017 work out to 0.1 per 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), close to Oklahoma's 0.2.
From Sapulpa to Lawrence Creek, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Creek County's.
