Tift County, GA Radon Zone Data

Tift County, GA: EPA's radon zone, explained

EPA places Tift 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. That puts Tift County in the 20th percentile nationally for radon potential — higher than 20% of the counties EPA has rated.

Tift County by the numbers

Tift County, Georgia is home to about 41,708 people across 260.89 square miles. Averaged across its land area, Tift County runs about 160 people per square mile. By population, Tift County is the 395th largest of every county sharing its EPA zone — the 62nd percentile by population within that zone. EPA's geology-based Region 4 groups Tift County with 735 other counties nationally sharing its underlying rock and soil profile.

Why the zone isn't the answer by itself

Tift County's predicted average sits below the national indoor average of about 1.3 pCi/L, well under EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. A Zone 3 rating means Tift 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 Tift County tests above the action level

For a Tift County homeowner, the order is simple: test first, since a kit costs a small fraction of what mitigation would. Only if the result clears 4 pCi/L does a system — typically $800–$2,500, about $1,200 for a common install — become worth pricing out.
