An estimate

New Cambria didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Interest on debt $4,000. With these, the whole budget was $54,000.
About “Other”.56% of New Cambria’s day-to-day spending ($28,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
