Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 64%
  • Other taxes & licenses 20%
  • Income taxes 12%
  • From the state 4%

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

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