Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 66%
  • From the state 26%
  • Sales taxes 5%
  • Fees & charges 3%

Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Anderson collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.

Anderson didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
