Here is another consideration: if it is either the alphas or the daughter emissions, or both, that are effective in radon health effects, would CUMULATIVE radon exposure be the factor to look at, rather than some kind of average or median? Averages, it seems to me, are too dependent on ventilation, time spent in various parts of the house, and similar undocumented variables to be reliable indicators of radon exposure.
