What stands out in Franklin

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Franklin with communities in Indiana 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, Franklin's adults with a bachelor's degree was 27.8%; Polco's model expected 24.9%. It outperformed expectations.
