Answer 1This is very clear in houses made from bricks or stones and not from wood. These bricks or stones contain some percentage of uranium that decays to produce radon gas that escapes to the surrounding air thus increasing the radon gas level especially when the house is not ventilated. Answer 2There's an effect due to the type of construction (houses that are mostly brick or stone may have more radon that houses that are mostly wood), but this isn't really a "different parts of the country" effect except to the extent that some kinds of houses are more common in some parts of the country.

One very definite effect having to do with location is the underlying bedrock. Two houses of identical construction may have very different radon levels if the underlying bedrock in the area is granite vs. limestone.
