Thank you for being a neighbor
Day-to-day spending is down 4% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Uniontown reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $275 · 2023: $277. Per resident it went from $275 to $277 (up 1%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 2,150 to 2,037.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

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.
