Where Bloom's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 100%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Bloom collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
Bloom didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
Minneola Unified School District 219
Bloom's K–12 school district, shared with Minneola, Appleton and Wilburn. It is its own government, with a budget separate from the town's.
