Day-to-day spending is up 101% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Dundee 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: $2,177 · 2024: $3,595. Per resident it went from $2,177 to $3,595 (up 65%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 4,687 to 5,712.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
