About “Other”.36% of Floral Park’s day-to-day spending ($10.9 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
Over the years

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