Radon tests reported for Titus County, 2007 to 2016, laboratory
CDC holds 1 reported test for Titus County over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, a result of 0.1 pCi/L: too few to describe a county (Radon411 reads a share from 30 tests up). Titus County beside the counties around it is how this page reads it.
What these figures count
Only 1 test was reported to CDC for Titus County over 2007 to 2016 (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: 2007 to 2016, laboratory. Measured data period: 2005 to 2016 (every CDC figure on file).
Titus County, Compared
Titus County radon figures, compared
Calculated by Radon411CDC's largest figure for Titus County rests on 1 test over the 2007 to 2016 laboratory totals, 0 of them at or above 4 pCi/L, so each test moves its share by 100.0 points and no rank or comparison is drawn from it. Results reached as high as 0.1 pCi/L, with a middle value of 0.1 pCi/L.
The nearest counties with a figure are Smith County (61 miles away) at 9.1%, Collin County (93 miles away) at 7.7% and Dallas County (110 miles away) at 8.7%. Pooled across 140 Texas counties, 10.4% of reported tests reached that level; across every county in the country with a figure, 35.8%.
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 Titus 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.

Titus County, Geology
The ground under Titus County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Titus County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls East Texas Province, to which USGS gives a radon index of 6, in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| East Texas Province | Cretaceous through Quaternary marine sandstone, shale, chalk, limestone, siltstone, clay, and lignite. | Low | 6 | 100% |

Titus County beside the ground around it
Across Texas 0.5% of the land is rated high; none of Titus County's is. Of the 4 counties that border it, 1 has more moderate-potential ground, Red River County the most at 20.6%.
