Florida cities of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Casselberry itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 20% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Casselberry reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Per resident: 2022: $1,128 · 2024: $1,337.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
