What stands out in Washington County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Washington County with communities in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 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 2024, Washington County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on workers who bike to work.
