Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 64%
  • Interest, fines & other 24%
  • From the state 12%

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

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