44

Michigan cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Beverly Hills itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 17% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Beverly Hills reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$16.2 million
2024$18.9 million

Per resident: 2022: $1,577 · 2024: $1,814.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
