What stands out in Goleta
Data from Polco GPALStandouts compare Goleta with communities in California 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, Goleta's workers who bike to work was 2.5%; Polco's model expected 3.5%. It fell short of expectations.
