Where Bergen's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 78%
- From the state 22%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Bergen collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
Bergen didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
