Where Sherlock's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 100%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Sherlock collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
Sherlock didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
Holcomb Unified School District 363
Sherlock's K–12 school district, shared with Holcomb and Terry. It is its own government, with a budget separate from the town's.
Where the district's money comes from Kansas districts overall: 28% local, 61% state, 11% federal
