What stands out in Arlington Heights

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Arlington Heights with communities in Illinois 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, Arlington Heights was more favorable than communities in Illinois on adults with diabetes.
