What stands out in Gloucester County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Gloucester County with communities in Commonwealth of Virginia 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 2024, Gloucester County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on workers who carpool.
