Crane County, Compared
Crane County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's county radon counts over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals cover 140 Texas counties, and Crane County is not among them: no year's figure and no ten-year laboratory total names it. Pooled across 140 Texas counties, 10.4% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.
The nearest counties with a figure are Midland County (42 miles away) at 1.0%, Lubbock County (156 miles away) at 57.8% and El Paso County (221 miles away) at 0.0%. Statewide for the same period, Randall County reported the highest share (71.4%) and Nueces County the lowest (0.0%).
EPA's 1993 map puts Crane County in Zone 3, its lowest label: a predicted county average under 2 pCi/L. USGS geology rates 99% of the county's land low radon potential.
