Methodology

The question this answers

What have licensed radon tests found, ZIP by ZIP, in DuPage, Kane and Will counties?

How a row comes to exist

  • On 2 September 2026 the public ArcGIS feature service behind the IEMA-OHS Public Radon Dashboard (Radon_Full/FeatureServer/0, "RadonLicensedMeasurements", 544,664 rows statewide) was queried for grouped statistics per ZIP: the count of results, their mean, their maximum, their 50th percentile, and the count of results at or above 4.0 pCi/L.
  • Share at or above 4.0 pCi/L is the second count divided by the first, in percent, rounded to one decimal place. Results are rounded to one decimal place.
  • No individual measurement, address, licensee name or device serial number was requested or stored; the service was asked only for aggregates.

Inclusion and exclusion

  • Measurements whose county is Du Page, Kane or Will, whose InvalidReason is N (recorded as valid) and whose HasMigationSystem is N (no mitigation system present at the time of the test).
  • ZIP codes with at least 20 such measurements. Smaller ZIPs are excluded because a handful of tests does not describe a ZIP.
  • A ZIP that straddles a county line appears once per county, carrying only that county’s measurements.

What this dataset cannot tell you

  • These are results from tests performed by licensed professionals and reported to the state. Homeowner self-test kits are not in the service, so the sample leans toward real-estate transactions and follow-up testing.
  • The service exposes no machine-readable test date, so the period covered is not computed here. IEMA-OHS describes the dashboard as the licensed measurements submitted to it, and its description governs.
  • A ZIP statistic predicts nothing about any single house. Neighbouring homes routinely test on opposite sides of 4.0 pCi/L; only a test of the house in question answers for that house.
  • The mean is pulled upward by a small number of very high results; the median is the better summary of a typical home in the ZIP.
  • IEMA-OHS has not reviewed this table. Any aggregation error is ours; the underlying records are the agency’s.
