Day-to-day spending is up 12% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Davison Township 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: $732 · 2023: $774. Per resident it went from $732 to $774 (up 6%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 19,254 to 20,436.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $2,953 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.27% of the home’s value, vs 1.25% across Michigan.
