What stands out in Lubbock

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Lubbock 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 2023, Lubbock's violent crime rate was 881 per 100,000 residents; Polco's model expected 1,119. It outperformed expectations.
