Easton Police Chief Carlos Galsos told council the department's operational budget is largely flat but the expense budget (excluding traffic) rises a little over 3%—about $418,000—driven largely by health‑insurance and salary increases; chief warned body‑camera replacement could cost about $500,000.

What stands out in Easton

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Easton 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 2024, Easton's income inequality (Gini coefficient) was 0.416; Polco's model expected 0.447. It outperformed expectations.
