Cumberland County · NJDEP Radon Potential: Tier 1 — high
NJDEP assigns every New Jersey municipality a radon-potential tier; Tier 1 is the highest, meaning at least 25% of tested homes met or exceeded 4.0 pCi/L. It doesn't mean every house is high — radon varies house to house even on the same street — but it makes testing genuinely important here, and it triggers the state's radon-resistant new-construction requirement (N.J.A.C. 5:23-10).
