Day-to-day spending is up 38% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Cherryhill Township reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $232 · 2023: $336. Per resident it went from $232 to $336 (up 45%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 2,587 to 2,462.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $2,391 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.38% of the home’s value, vs 1.30% across Pennsylvania.
