No comparison or trend for Hubbardton yet

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