No comparison for Corinth yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample). Corinth’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported 5% of its 2022 dollars), so it has no like-for-like peer figure. It reported 2024; the next full count is 2027.
