$939 per resident in 2022: more than 74% of them
Pine Township’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($939 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 147 Pennsylvania towns and townships of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $717, and the middle half spent $484–$963. Pine Township spent more than 74% of them.
Includes sewer and trash ($109,000), as the Census Bureau counts them. Later years come from a Census sample, so the comparison stays on 2022. How Town Hall compares budgets →
Pennsylvania towns and townships of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Pine Township itself left out).
Day-to-day spending is up 17% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Pine 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: $939 · 2023: $1,016. Per resident it went from $939 to $1,016 (up 8%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 13,941 to 15,018.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $8,851 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.53% of the home’s value, vs 1.30% across Pennsylvania.

The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Pine Township’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate.
