Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $630 · 2024: $671. Per resident it went from $630 to $671 (up 7%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 27,181 to 29,813.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
