Measured Risk Leaders in Iowa
County rankings from actual reported radon tests
These lists rank the visible Iowa county pages by measured radon signals, not by the EPA zone label alone. Use them to spot where the state hub has a real data story before opening individual county pages.

measured counties
State-level evidence read
This hub has measured high-burden counties, so the first click should be evidence-led.
The state hub is now doing a decision job: it separates first-click counties, retest counties, and lower-signal counties from 99 visible county measurement rows. 48 counties cross the high measured-burden band, so those pages should answer testing and 4.0+ action questions most directly.
First-click counties
Open Osceola County first when you need the strongest local answer. It is tagged Test-now from n/a 4.0+ - 11.4 pCi/L primary - n/a tests. 71 visible measured counties are elevated or high enough to review before lower-signal counties.
Buyer/seller lane
Buyer/seller lane: start with the elevated or high counties, require a fresh lowest-level test, and turn any 4.0+ property result into quote or credit math. The hub has 99 state-source county rows to support that routing.
Retest lane
Retest lane: 2.0-3.9 pCi/L deserves more caution in the elevated/high county set than in lower-signal counties. The hub should send those users to county pages before product or cost paths.

Ranked by measured burden, 4.0+ share, test volume, and whether the EPA zone understates the measurement signal.
Osceola County

n/a 4.0+ - 11.4 pCi/L primary - n/a tests
Osceola County is a first-click page: n/a of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 11.4 pCi/L primary result. Route no-reading users to a test now and 4.0+ users to quote or credit planning.

n/a 4.0+ - 10.1 pCi/L primary - n/a tests
Adair County is a first-click page: n/a of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 10.1 pCi/L primary result. Route no-reading users to a test now and 4.0+ users to quote or credit planning.
Worth County
IA HHS
n/a 4.0+ - 9.0 pCi/L primary - n/a tests
Worth County is a first-click page: n/a of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 9.0 pCi/L primary result. Route no-reading users to a test now and 4.0+ users to quote or credit planning.

Measured pattern
Among 99 visible counties with measurement tables, 48 land in the high measured-burden band and 71 land in high or elevated measured-burden bands. That lets this hub rank counties by observed test distribution instead of repeating the EPA map.
Map vs measurements
The strongest measured signals mostly align with the EPA zone structure, so the county pages can use the map as support while still leading with test data.
Source strategy
All measured rows shown here use state-specific official sources, so this hub can make source-backed county comparisons without leaning on a national fallback.
