Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Sebago reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $2,318 · 2024: $2,338. Per resident it went from $2,318 to $2,338 (up 1%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,844 to 1,943.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
