Orange County

EPA Zone 3

This coastal Orange County community spans multiple zip codes (92646-92649) along Southern California's Pacific shoreline, where marine terraces and alluvial deposits create generally low radon potential. However, testing data for the area is currently limited, and California's diverse geology can produce unexpected radon readings even in coastal locations. The city's predominantly slab-on-grade construction typical of warm-climate development may reduce but not eliminate radon concerns.
