Day-to-day spending has held about steady since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Howland Township 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: $519 · 2023: $491. Per resident it went from $519 to $491 (down 5%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 17,996 to 19,027.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $2,561 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.41% of the home’s value, vs 1.31% across Ohio.
