Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 100%

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

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