What stands out in Rutherford

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Rutherford 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, Rutherford's workers who drive alone to work was 50.8%; Polco's model expected 54.4%. It outperformed expectations.
