Per resident: 2022: $1,376 · 2024: $1,567. Per resident it went from $1,376 to $1,567 (up 14%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 31,902 to 33,527.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
