US Cities with the Highest EMF Exposure

These cities have the highest combined EMF scores in our data. The EMF score (0–100) blends radiofrequency exposure from nearby cell towers with extremely low frequency exposure from transmission lines and substations, weighted toward whichever source dominates.

Only cities with a published EMF Radar report are ranked. Scores are recalculated as new tower and power grid data arrives; read the methodology for sources and weighting.
