What stands out in High Point

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare High Point with communities in North 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 2022, High Point was more favorable than communities in North Carolina on liquidity score.
