Per resident: 2022: $1,205 · 2024: $1,352. Per resident it went from $1,205 to $1,352 (up 12%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 3,631 to 3,322.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
