Per resident: 2022: $3,427 · 2024: $1,517. Per resident it went from $3,427 to $1,517 (down 56%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 3,193 to 9,344.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
