What stands out in Copperas Cove

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Copperas Cove with communities in Texas 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, Copperas Cove's households using SNAP (food assistance) was 14.9%; Polco's model expected 12.6%. It fell short of expectations.
