What stands out in Lake Forest Park

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Lake Forest Park with communities in Washington 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, Lake Forest Park's workers who take public transit was 3.9%; Polco's model expected 5.4%. It fell short of expectations.
