Trophy Club’s day-to-day spending in 2022 ($1,305 per resident, hospital and utilities left out) against 68 Texas cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools: the median was $976, and the middle half spent $726–$1,280. Trophy Club spent more than 76% of them.

The group
68

Texas cities of 10,000–24,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Trophy Club itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 14% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Trophy Club reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$16.5 million
2024$18.9 million

Per resident: 2022: $1,305 · 2024: $1,371. Per resident it went from $1,305 to $1,371 (up 5%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 12,636 to 13,758.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Estimates.Trophy Club didn’t report its staff figures; these are the Census Bureau’s estimates, so they aren’t compared with other towns.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
