Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 533% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Hart's Location reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$43,000
2023$272,000

Per resident: 2022: $956 · 2023: $4,060. Per resident it went from $956 to $4,060 (up 325%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 45 to 67.

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