What stands out in Santa Clara County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Santa Clara County with communities in California 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 2020, Santa Clara County was more favorable than communities in California on students passing state math tests.
