What stands out in Somerset

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Somerset with communities in Commonwealth of Massachusetts or of similar population size. Surprises are where the measured figure was unusually far from what Polco's model expected. Each fact gives its year; public data runs one to two years behind.

In 2022, Somerset was more favorable than communities of similar population size on adults without health insurance.
