$530 per resident in 2022: less than 78% of them
Greece’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($530 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 54 New York towns and townships of 50,000–99,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $796, and the middle half spent $571–$1,037. Greece spent less than 78% of them.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Day-to-day spending is up 1% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Greece reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $530 · 2023: $526 · 2024: $538.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $5,487 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 2.88% of the home’s value, vs 1.55% across New York.
