Radon tests reported for Wagoner County, 2008 to 2017, laboratory
CDC holds 10 reported tests for Wagoner County over the 2008 to 2017 laboratory totals, with a median of 1.1 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Wagoner County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 10 tests were reported to CDC for Wagoner 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).
Wagoner County, Compared
Wagoner County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Wagoner County rests on 14 tests over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals, 1 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 7.1 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 6.1 pCi/L, with a middle value of 1.5 pCi/L.
Of the counties bordering it, 2 have a figure over the 2006 to 2015 laboratory totals: Cherokee County reported the largest share at or above 4 pCi/L, 32.0%, and Tulsa County the smallest, 6.0%. Farther out, Delaware County (51 miles away) at 44.7%, Washington County (56 miles away) at 11.3% and Oklahoma County (110 miles away) at 8.9% 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 Wagoner 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.
