Day-to-day spending has held about steady since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Tredyffrin 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: $1,062 · 2023: $984. Per resident it went from $1,062 to $984 (down 7%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 29,245 to 31,798.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
