Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 64%
  • Utility sales 24%
  • Fees & charges 7%
  • Interest, fines & other 5%
  • Sales taxes <1%
  • Other taxes & licenses <1%

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

Berea didn't report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
