What stands out in Placer County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Placer 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 2021, Placer County was more favorable than communities of similar population size on adults with no leisure-time exercise.
