Radon Mitigation in New Hope
Very high radon risk from the Reading Prong's Delaware River corridor, where Precambrian uranium-bearing gneiss is exposed at the surface along the Delaware escarpment. New Hope's bedrock — the same uranium-enriched gneiss that defines the highest-radon band in the eastern United States — drives consistently elevated indoor readings. The borough's historic 18th- and 19th-century housing stock, fieldstone foundations, and river-terrace topography produce among the highest exceedance rates observed anywhere in Bucks County.

Local Geology & Risk Factors
New Hope is located in an area with Reading Prong / Delaware River Corridor Gneiss geology, which contributes to elevated radon levels. The Pennsylvania DEP identifies this region as having significant radon potential due to uranium-bearing rock formations.
Testing is essential because radon levels can vary significantly between neighboring homes based on construction, soil permeability, and ventilation.
