Haskell County, Compared
Haskell County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411No CDC figure names Haskell County, in any year or ten-year total; over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, the agency's counts reach 140 Texas counties without 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 Lubbock County (124 miles away) at 57.8%, Tarrant County (144 miles away) at 10.6% and Denton County (151 miles away) at 7.2%. 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 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.
Pooled shares: Radon411's sum of CDC's county counts for one period.
Haskell County, Geology
The ground under Haskell County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Haskell County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Central Texas, 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 Texas | Cretaceous through Quaternary marine sandstone, shale, chalk, limestone, siltstone, clay, and lignite. | Low | 7 | 100% |

Haskell County beside the ground around it
Across Texas 0.5% of the land is rated high; none of Haskell County's is. None of the 7 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 Haskell County
No CDC figure names Haskell County; the nearest county with one, Lubbock County (124 miles away), reported 57.8% of its tests at or above 4 pCi/L over the 2007 to 2016 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.
