Ouachita Parish County

EPA Zone 3

Situated in Ouachita Parish as the heart of the Monroe metropolitan area, this northern Louisiana city sits on alluvial deposits and sedimentary formations that typically produce lower radon concentrations than other geological regions. Testing data remains unavailable across the 71201, 71202, and 71203 zip codes, though Louisiana's generally warm climate and predominant slab-on-grade construction reduce radon accumulation risk. However, homes with basements or enclosed crawl spaces should still consider periodic radon assessment as individual conditions can vary significantly.
