What stands out in New Brunswick

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare New Brunswick with communities in New Jersey 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, New Brunswick's workers who carpool was 10.6%; Polco's model expected 13.2%. It fell short of expectations.
