La Salle County, Compared
La Salle County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's county radon counts over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals cover 140 Texas counties, and La Salle 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 Bexar County (84 miles away) at 6.6%, Nueces County (100 miles away) at 0.0% and Travis County (158 miles away) at 9.3%. 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 La Salle 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.

La Salle County, Geology
The ground under La Salle County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of La Salle County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls South Texas Plain, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Texas Plain | Cretaceous through Quaternary marine sandstone, shale, chalk, limestone, siltstone, clay, and lignite. | Low | 7 | 100% |

La Salle County beside the ground around it
Across Texas 0.5% of the land is rated high; none of La Salle County's is. None of the 6 counties that border it has any moderate-potential ground either.
