Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $286 · 2023: $275. Per resident it went from $286 to $275 (down 4%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 35 to 40.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
