Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 98%
  • From the state 2%
  • From other local governments 1%
  • Interest, fines & other <1%

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

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