Debt issued, retired and outstanding are different measures; beginning and ending balances must not be summed. Trust contributions, benefits and assets have their own scope. These entries are separate from the spending overview.
Finance entries, with their source flags
Every original item remains available here. Amounts are converted from thousands of dollars; original codes, source labels and flags remain attached.

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: 25 imputed (I). 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.
