Read the reporting limits first

Census edits these records to produce aggregate statistics. It warns that individual-government observations are not checked for accurate city time series and can contain reporting, coverage and processing errors. The 2022 census is broad; the 2024 annual survey is a sample. This page uses the latest available observation for this government, not a claim of current-year completeness.

Latest source flags: 1 imputed (I); 40 reported (R); 19 alternative source (S). These flags do not establish fraud or audit assurance.

Original files and reproducible records

Survey years are retained as published. Amounts use source item codes and explicit flags; no missing value is replaced with zero. No cross-year growth or city rankings are inferred.

From tracking spending to demanding receipts

Public money should leave a public receipt.

Today’s reporting can show spending without a complete trail to the final recipient or proof of delivery. Help close those gaps, strengthen checks before payment, and reduce opportunities for fraud and abuse.
