Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Avon collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
No comparison or trend for Avon yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Avon’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported none of its 2022 dollars). It reported 2024 only (2022 is an estimate), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
