No comparison or trend for Casa Grande yet

The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Casa Grande’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported none of its 2022 dollars). It reported 2024 only (2022 and 2023 are estimates), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.

Not compared.Staff are compared with the same group as the budget, and Casa Grande’s 2022 budget was a Census estimate, so there is no group to compare with.

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