An estimate

Triana 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.Interest on debt $14,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $942,000.
About “Other”.67% of Triana’s day-to-day spending ($473,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
