What stands out in Liberty Lake

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Liberty Lake with communities in Washington 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, Liberty Lake's workers who bike to work was 0.4%; Polco's model expected 5.3%. It fell short of expectations.
