What stands out in Logan County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Logan County with communities in Illinois 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, Logan County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on voter registration rate.
