Day-to-day spending is up 24% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Humboldt 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: $285 · 2024: $367. Per resident it went from $285 to $367 (up 29%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 1,355 to 1,298.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
The typical homeowner pays $2,645 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.91% of the home’s value, vs 1.42% across Wisconsin.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
