An estimate

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

About “Other”.31% of Lake Aluma’s day-to-day spending ($12,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
