An estimate

Boston Heights didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

About “Other”.100% of Boston Heights’ day-to-day spending ($9.1 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
