No comparison or trend for Paulding Township yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Paulding Township’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
