No comparison or trend for Hinesburg yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Hinesburg’s 2022 figures are a Census estimate (it reported none of its 2022 dollars). It reported 2024 only (2022 and 2023 are estimates), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
