$2,181 per resident in 2022: more than 87% of them
Chino Valley’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($2,181 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 31 Arizona cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $1,123, and the middle half spent $931–$1,700. Chino Valley spent more than 87% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($3.7 million), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →
Arizona cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Chino Valley itself left out).
Day-to-day spending is down 37% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Chino Valley 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: $2,181 · 2024: $1,288.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $1,497 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.38% of the home’s value, vs 0.48% across Arizona.
