Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Albion collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Albion didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

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.
