What stands out in Beaufort County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Beaufort County with communities in North Carolina 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, Beaufort County was more favorable than communities of similar population size on fire response: False alarm and false call incidents.
