What stands out in Cameron County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Cameron County with communities in Texas 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, Cameron County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on adults without health insurance.
