Durant sits in EPA Radon Zone 2, which is moderate risk—nothing alarming, but definitely worth getting a radon test during your inspection. On earthquake risk, the area experiences moderate seismic activity with about 50 small events annually, though nothing severe (the largest in the past decade maxed out at 3.4 magnitude). These are manageable with standard construction practices, not dealbreakers.
