No comparison for Brundidge yet

The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample). Brundidge’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so it has no like-for-like peer figure. It reported 2024; the next full count is 2027.

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 773400% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Brundidge reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$0
2024$7.7 million

Per resident: 2022: $0 · 2024: $3,803. Per resident it went from $0 to $3,803 (up 380200%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,872 to 2,034.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Property tax

The typical homeowner pays $278 a year

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.30% of the home’s value, vs 0.38% across Alabama.

Can I afford it? →

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
