Each check runs for the Eircode you enter, with the data's confidence level labelled where a source is only published at county or division level.

In EPA measurements to end-2019, 21.2% of homes tested in Galway were at or above the Reference Level of 200 Bq/m³, above the national share of 14.1% of homes tested. Homes in known high-radon areas were more likely to test, so this is a share of homes tested, not of all homes. Radon is Ireland's second biggest cause of lung cancer, and the EPA recommends testing any home regardless of area.

PropertyPack includes EPA radon zone classification for any Eircode in Galway. For definitive measurement, a physical radon test using detectors placed in the property for 3+ months is recommended. PropertyPack data tells you whether your area is classified as high-risk before you invest in testing.

Risk levels vary across Galway depending on which factor you're considering. Properties away from Corrib, Shannon and Clare flood plains have lower flood risk. For radon, 21.2% of homes tested in Galway measured over the Reference Level. The EPA's map shows which areas are classified as High Radon Areas. Well-established residential areas in Galway City, Tuam, Ballinasloe tend to have better broadband, lower crime, and closer school access. PropertyPack helps you compare specific locations within Galway across 18 risk categories.
