About the Chicago spending data on this page
This page opens on the budget Chicago adopted for the fiscal year, broken out by the departments it funds and the funds those departments draw on. Adopted appropriations by department across the corporate fund and the city’s special funds.
Cities do not share a chart of accounts, so a department here is the department as Chicago itself files it — not a category imposed to make cities look alike. Where a figure is compared against another city, the page states which funds are in scope, because a general-fund total and an all-funds total are not the same measurement.
Figures on this page are shown for FY2024. ImpactLine does not add its own estimates or fill in values a government has not published — read the methodology and sources for how each figure is assembled.
