What stands out in Fairhope

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Fairhope with communities in Alabama 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, Fairhope's average travel time to work was 25.9 minutes; Polco's model expected 23.2 minutes. It fell short of expectations.
