What stands out in Florence County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Florence County with communities in South Carolina 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, Florence County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on residents with access to places to exercise.
