Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $1,271 · 2023: $944. Per resident it went from $1,271 to $944 (down 26%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 13,876 to 15,447.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
