What stands out in Mobile County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Mobile County with communities in Alabama 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 2021, Mobile County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on adults with no leisure-time exercise.
