An estimate

Goodrich didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $90,000; interest on debt $49,000. With these, the whole budget was $1.5 million.
About “Other”.31% of Goodrich’s day-to-day spending ($430,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.

Not compared.Staff are compared with the same group as the budget, and Goodrich’s 2022 budget was a Census estimate, so there is no group to compare with.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
