An estimate

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

About “Other”.62% of Fleming’s day-to-day spending ($8,000) 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.
