What stands out in Cumberland County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Cumberland County with communities in Maine 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, Cumberland County was more favorable than communities in Maine on residents with access to places to exercise.
