Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $1,257 · 2023: $1,189. Per resident it went from $1,257 to $1,189 (down 5%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,208 to 1,314.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
