Of the $13,242 per pupil, $8,474 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.

No comparison for Ewing yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample). Ewing’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported 1% of its 2022 dollars), so it has no like-for-like peer figure. It reported 2024; the next full count is 2027.
How Town Hall compares budgets →Day-to-day spending is up 29% since 2023
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Ewing reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2023: $122 · 2024: $158.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
