Measured Risk Leaders in South Carolina
County rankings from actual reported radon tests
These lists rank the visible South Carolina 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 verdict
This hub has elevated measured counties, so the map is only the starting point.
The state hub is now doing a decision job: it separates first-click counties, retest counties, and lower-signal counties from 5 visible county measurement rows. 1 counties are elevated or high, including 1 where the EPA zone alone understates the measured signal.
First-click counties
Open Pickens County first when you need the strongest local answer. It is tagged Priority test from 23.6% 4.0+ - 3.5 pCi/L primary - 969 tests. 1 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 5 CDC-backed 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.
Pickens County
CDC Tracking
23.6% 4.0+ - 3.5 pCi/L primary - 969 tests
Pickens County should be opened before lower-signal counties: 23.6% of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 3.5 pCi/L primary result. It is strong enough for testing and retesting language on the hub.
Greenville County
CDC Tracking
19.6% 4.0+ - 2.9 pCi/L primary - 7,077 tests
Greenville County belongs in the retest lane: 19.6% of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 2.9 pCi/L primary result. A 2.0-3.9 home result should be confirmed before the user dismisses it.
Spartanburg County
CDC Tracking
19.1% 4.0+ - 2.7 pCi/L primary - 1,665 tests
Spartanburg County belongs in the retest lane: 19.1% of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 2.7 pCi/L primary result. A 2.0-3.9 home result should be confirmed before the user dismisses it.
York County
CDC Tracking
13.6% 4.0+ - 2.1 pCi/L primary - 933 tests
York County belongs in the retest lane: 13.6% of reported tests at or above 4.0 and 2.1 pCi/L primary result. A 2.0-3.9 home result should be confirmed before the user dismisses it.

Measured pattern
Among 5 visible counties with measurement tables, 0 land in the high measured-burden band and 1 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
1 elevated measured counties are not EPA Zone 1. Those are the pages where the actual test distribution matters more than a map-only answer.
Source confidence
The measured rows shown here use CDC Tracking. This is still official evidence, but the hub should keep source caveats visible until a stable state table is available.
