What stands out in Brighton

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Brighton with communities in New York 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, Brighton was more favorable than communities of similar population size on adults without health insurance.
