Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 69%
  • From the state 18%
  • Other taxes & licenses 13%

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

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