An estimate

Coffee Springs didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.With the enterprises, the whole budget was $155,000.
Why the hospital is apart.The Census Bureau counts the hospital it runs in the town’s books ($59,000, 38% of all operations). Only 135 of the 11,301 towns and cities of 2,500+ run one (Census finance files), so it is shown here and left out of every per-resident comparison.
