No comparison or trend for Pine Hill yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Pine Hill’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported 30% of its 2022 dollars). It reported 2023 only (2022 is an estimate), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
