Day-to-day spending is down 5% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Corunna 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: $1,829 · 2024: $1,911. Per resident it went from $1,829 to $1,911 (up 4%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 3,320 to 3,032.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $1,895 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.25% of the home’s value, vs 1.25% across Michigan.
