Day-to-day spending is down 64% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Bloomingdale 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: $78 · 2023: $36. Per resident it went from $78 to $36 (down 54%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 179 to 139.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
