What stands out in Laurel
Data from Polco GPALStandouts compare Laurel with communities in Maryland 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 2023, Laurel's violent crime rate was 656 per 100,000 residents; Polco's model expected 364. It fell short of expectations.
