What stands out in Seminole County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Seminole 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 2023, Seminole County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on violent crimes cleared.
