Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 69%
  • From the state 31%

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

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