Thank you for being a neighbor
Day-to-day spending is up 35% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Victor 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: $701 · 2023: $1,081. Per resident it went from $701 to $1,081 (up 54%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 2,563 to 2,236.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
