What stands out in Elgin

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Elgin 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, Elgin's workers who drive alone to work was 66.5%; Polco's model expected 71.4%. It outperformed expectations.
