Radon in Missouri
Of the 3 Missouri ZIPs zipradar carries, 1 sits in EPA Radon Zone 1 (highest predicted potential, above 4 pCi/L), 2 in Zone 2 (moderate, 2–4 pCi/L). The zone is a county-level EPA prediction, not a reading from any building — it narrows the question but does not settle it, and EPA's own guidance is that the only way to know a specific home is an at-home test kit.
