Limitations specific to this source
Radon is a regional indicator. Address-level radon measurement requires an at-home test kit (often free from state health departments).
New Mexico context
Radon, wildfire, water-supply scarcity
New Mexico has Zone 1 radon coverage statewide. Wildfire risk in northern + central forests; the 2022 Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire was the largest in NM history. Water-supply scarcity drives compliance pressure on small rural EPA SDWIS systems.
See New Mexico state page for the full state-level rollup across all 12 dimensions.
