27

Oklahoma cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Glenpool itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is down 52% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Glenpool reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$13.1 million
2023$6.2 million

Per resident: 2022: $935 · 2023: $450.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Property tax

The typical homeowner pays $1,834 a year

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.91% of the home’s value, vs 0.80% across Oklahoma.
