In a geographical sense, just about everywhere. It is more common in certain areas than others. It's considerably heavier than air, so radon escaping from the ground into the atmosphere tends to collect in low places, particularly those which are enclosed and have little air circulation. Typically in a house the highest concentration of radon will be found in the basement.

Mean concentration of radon in air: 150 atoms/cm3
Radon in the earth crust: 4.10-16 mg/kg
Radon in the sea water: 6.10-19 mg/L

Is radon found in pure state or mostly in compounds?
The element, Radon is one of the Noble Gases like Helium and Neon that do not form compounds. Thus Radon is always found in the Pure State.
What is a common compound found that includes radon?
radon is a noble gas, so it does not form compounds.
What state of matter is radon normally found on earth?
Radon is a gas at room temperature, and quite a bit below it, too. A link can be found below.
Are there any foods that radon is found in?
No. Radon is a gas, and a very volatile one at that. The only place it can accumulate is in totally sealed basements.
What is the state at room temp of radon?
Radon is a gas at room temperature, and quite a bit below it, too. A link can be found below.
