What stands out in Florence

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Florence with communities in Arizona 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, Florence's average travel time to work was 30.9 minutes; Polco's model expected 28.3 minutes. It fell short of expectations.
