Radon tests reported for Kingfisher County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 2 reported tests for Kingfisher County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 1.2 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Kingfisher County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 2 tests were reported to CDC for Kingfisher 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).
Kingfisher County, Compared
Kingfisher County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Kingfisher County rests on 2 tests over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 50.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 1.8 pCi/L, with a middle value of 1.2 pCi/L.
Oklahoma County, the one bordering county with a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, reported 8.9% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L. Farther out, Tulsa County (113 miles away) at 6.0%, Washington County (125 miles away) at 11.3% and Cherokee County (165 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 Kingfisher 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.

Kingfisher County, Geology
The ground under Kingfisher County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Kingfisher 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% |

Kingfisher County beside the ground around it
Across Oklahoma 0.6% of the land is rated high; none of Kingfisher 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.

Kingfisher County, Cities and towns
Cities and towns in Kingfisher County
The Census Bureau estimates 15,795 residents in Kingfisher County for July 1, 2025, 625 more than in 2020 (+4.1%). That works out to 18 people per square mile of land. Piedmont, the largest place on its list (9,427 residents in all), extends beyond Kingfisher County, so no share of the total is worked out for it. Reported testing is thin here: 2 tests over 2008 to 2017, or 0.1 for every 1,000 residents (2025 estimate), where Oklahoma as a whole comes to 0.2.
From Piedmont to Loyal, CDC publishes no figure by town: each reads Kingfisher County's.
