How do I know what the radiation level is where I live?

Is there a web site that posts regular, radiation level readings by city and/or region throughout the U.S.?
There are a few homebrew networks that offer what you want: Radiation Network and Black Cat Systems' Rad Map. Because they are networks of home users, however, there's a lot of empty spots.
There's also the EPA's more thorough RadNet map, which is a lot more like what you're asking for, but not every monitoring station has extended graphs that predate the Fukushima incident.
