Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$170,000
2023$175,000

Per resident: 2022: $1,328 · 2023: $1,562. Per resident it went from $1,328 to $1,562 (up 18%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 128 to 112.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
