Estimates.Nottingham didn’t report its staff figures; these are the Census Bureau’s estimates, so they aren’t compared with other towns.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.

Your share of the 2022 budget

About $1,317 per resident a year, or $3.61 a day

Day-to-day services only (a Census Bureau estimate). The biggest line: administration & buildings, at 29%.

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Nottingham collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

An estimate

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

Not in the receipt.Building projects $104,000; interest on debt $49,000; payments to other governments $8.9 million. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $15.9 million.
