What stands out in Summit County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Summit County with communities in Ohio 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, Summit County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on adults with obesity.
