New York cities of 2,500–9,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Irvington itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 5% since 2022

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

Per resident: 2022: $3,017 · 2023: $3,109.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
