What stands out in Perry

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Perry with communities in Georgia 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, Perry's workers who bike to work was 2.1%; Polco's model expected 0.6%. It outperformed expectations.
