Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $175 · 2023: $218. Per resident it went from $175 to $218 (up 25%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 211 to 193.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
