$2,577 per resident in 2022: more than 93% of them
Roseville’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($2,577 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 59 California cities of 100,000–249,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $1,350, and the middle half spent $1,086–$1,943. Roseville spent more than 93% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($88.2 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 →

Day-to-day spending has held about steady since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Roseville 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: $2,577 · 2023: $2,295 · 2024: $2,418. Per resident it went from $2,577 to $2,418 (down 6%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 144,725 to 154,817.
full-time in March 2025, up from 1,157 in 2022.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
