Why the zone isn't the answer by itself

Fannin County's Zone 2 prediction clears the 1.3 pCi/L national indoor average without reaching EPA's own 4 pCi/L point for recommending a fix. A Zone 2 rating is a moderate county-wide average, not a guarantee about any one house in Fannin County — testing is the only way to know an individual home's actual level.

If Fannin County tests above the action level

Nothing about Fannin 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.
