What stands out in El Paso

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare El Paso 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 2022, El Paso was less favorable than communities of similar population size on adults without health insurance.
