No comparison or trend for South Bound Brook yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and South Bound Brook’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only (2024 is an estimate), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
