What stands out in Orange County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Orange County with communities in Florida 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 2025, Orange County was more favorable than communities in Florida on fine-particle air pollution (PM2.5).
