What stands out in Hobart

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Hobart with communities in Indiana 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, Hobart's residents in poverty was 10.0%; Polco's model expected 14.0%. It outperformed expectations.
