Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 90%
  • Interest, fines & other 5%
  • From the state 5%

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

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