Radon Levels in Haskell County, Oklahoma

EPA puts Haskell County in Zone 3, its lowest radon zone, and only 1 radon test from it is on file with CDC (2008 to 2017, laboratory totals). Homes with elevated levels occur in all three zones, so only a test measures yours.

is EPA's lowest class, and its forecast for Haskell County as a whole is an average indoor of less than 2 pCi/L (less than 75 Bq/m³). A low zone clears no address in it: homes above EPA's turn up in all three zones.

Measured: tests reported to CDC

Radon tests reported for Haskell County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory

CDC holds 1 reported test for Haskell County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, a result of 0.7 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Haskell County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.

What these figures count

Only 1 test was reported to CDC for Haskell 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).

Haskell County, Compared

Haskell County radon figures, compared

Calculated by Radon411

CDC's largest figure for Haskell County rests on 1 test over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 100.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 0.7 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.7 pCi/L.

The nearest counties with a figure are Cherokee County (47 miles away) at 32.0%, Tulsa County (77 miles away) at 6.0% and Delaware County (83 miles away) at 44.7%. 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 Haskell 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.

Haskell County, Geology

The ground under Haskell County

Predicted

USGS's geologic map puts all of Haskell County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. The map puts 83.2% of Haskell County in the area it calls Lower Arkansas River Valley and 16.8% in Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills. USGS gives the first a radon index of 8 and the second 7, both in the low band (5 to 8).

Testing a home in Haskell County

No CDC figure names Haskell County; the nearest county with one, Cherokee County (47 miles away), reported 32.0% 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 Haskell County.

Haskell County, Cities and towns

Cities and towns in Haskell County

The Census Bureau estimates 11,787 residents in Haskell County for July 1, 2025, 234 more than in 2020 (+2.0%). That works out to 20 people per square mile of land. Its largest town, Stigler, has 2,749 residents, 23.3% of the total. Together its 6 incorporated places hold 36.9% of those residents; the other 63.1% live outside any of them. Reported testing is thin here: 1 test over 2008 to 2017, or 0.1 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Oklahoma as a whole comes to 0.2.

From Stigler to Tamaha, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Haskell County's.

Homes in Haskell County

Haskell County is a place of houses on their own lots: 77% of its 5,675 homes are detached single-family houses, against 73% across Oklahoma. Half of its homes were built before 1982, close to Oklahoma's 1980: 18% date from before 1960 and 25% from 2000 or later. Owners live in 77% of the occupied homes (Oklahoma: 66%), so for most households a test and a fix are their own to order.
