Andover’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($859 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 320 Ohio cities of under 2,500 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $458, and the middle half spent $251–$772. Andover spent more than 78% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($180,000), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →

Thank you for being a neighbor
Day-to-day spending is up 22% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Andover 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: $859 · 2023: $1,188. Per resident it went from $859 to $1,188 (up 38%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,088 to 958.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $1,281 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.00% of the home’s value, vs 1.31% across Ohio.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
