An estimate

Xenia didn’t report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Interest on debt $246,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $43.3 million.
About “Other”.70% of Xenia’s day-to-day spending ($27.2 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.

Not compared.Staff are compared with the same group as the budget, and Xenia’s 2022 budget was a Census estimate, so there is no group to compare with.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
