An estimate

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

Not in the receipt.Building projects $131,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $2 million.
About “Other”.38% of Woodmere’s day-to-day spending ($644,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
