Manlius’ day-to-day spending in 2022 ($644 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 38 New York towns and townships of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $674, and the middle half spent $522–$1,003. Manlius spent less than 55% of them.

The group
38

New York towns and townships of 25,000–49,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Manlius itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 23% since 2022

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

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$20.3 million
2024$25.1 million

Per resident: 2022: $644 · 2024: $755. Per resident it went from $644 to $755 (up 17%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 31,593 to 33,217.

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

Property tax

The typical homeowner pays $7,772 a year

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 3.06% of the home’s value, vs 1.55% across New York.
