Is Camden County, GA a radon risk area?

EPA places Camden County in Zone 3 - Low Potential — a predicted county-wide average indoor radon level below 2 pCi/L, based on the geology, soil and aerial radioactivity data behind EPA's national map. Nationally that's the 23rd percentile for radon potential — Camden County outranks 23% of every county EPA has rated.

Camden County by the numbers

About 59,099 people live in Camden County, Georgia, spread over 630.273 square miles. Population density there runs about 94 people per square mile.

What this actually means for a house in Camden County

At Zone 3, Camden County's predicted county average is under the national indoor average (~1.3 pCi/L) and well below EPA's 4 pCi/L action level — outdoor air nationally runs about 0.4 pCi/L for comparison. A Zone 3 rating means Camden County's county-wide average is predicted low, but EPA is explicit that a meaningful share of homes in low-potential zones still test above the action level — a low zone is not a reason to skip testing.

If Camden County tests above the action level

Nothing about Camden County's EPA zone changes the mitigation number: $800–$2,500 nationally (around $1,200 typical), set by the house's foundation rather than the county it sits in — and only relevant once a test actually clears 4 pCi/L.
