Radon Levels in York County, Pennsylvania
The average indoor radon level in York County is 13.2 pCi/L — about 10.2× the U.S. average of 1.3 pCi/L, and above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L (CDC National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network, 2008–2017). That means the typical home here tests high enough that the EPA recommends installing a radon mitigation system — testing is strongly advised across Hanover and York and the rest of the county.

What This Means for York County Homeowners
Because the county average sits above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level, radon mitigation is commonly needed here. The fix is routine: an NRPP-certified contractor installs an active sub-slab depressurization system that vents soil gas above the roofline, typically reducing indoor radon by 70–99%.
