What stands out in Evansville

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Evansville with communities in Indiana 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 2023, Evansville's violent crime rate was 1,122 per 100,000 residents; Polco's model expected 746. It fell short of expectations.
