What stands out in Franklin Park

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Franklin Park with communities in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 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, Franklin Park's property crimes cleared was 21.4%; Polco's model expected 69.7%. It fell short of expectations.
