What stands out in Robeson County

Data from Polco GPAL
Standouts compare Robeson 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 2023, Robeson County was less favorable than communities of similar population size on residents with access to places to exercise.
