Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 100%

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

Nance didn't report all of its 2023 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
