EPA Radon Levels
Minnesota has 87 counties and 68 (78%) have been assigned Zone 1 counties by the EPA. Zone 1 counties have the highest potential to have homes test higher than 4 pCi/L. Minnesota's state radon zone average is 1.22, which is the average of all county zone ratings the EPA has assigned the state, ranking it 7 among all states.
The radon levels in Minnesota are above average in many areas of the state. According to the Minnesota Department of Health two out of every five homes in the state have elevated radon levels. Nearly 80% of the counties have been rated as high radon zones. In addition, the state’s geology and climate are known for producing high amounts of radon. As such, there’s an increased risk for all homeowners, which is why we recommend testing exposure levels at least twice a year.

Disclaimer: It is strongly recommended that all households, schools and office spaces test radon levels individually. The EPA Radon Zone data is not an indicator of individual test results, but a guideline for strategic planning. Toxic radon levels can be found in all counties, regardless of their zone rating. While we make efforts to keep this information up to date, it is derived from thirdparty sources which may not be accurate or reflect the most current statistics.
About Minnesota

Minnesota does have an active radon program, dedicated to educating citizens about the risks associated with the deadly gas. You can find more information on Radon, testing and mitigation at the official page.
