Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 97%
  • From the state 3%
  • Fees & charges <1%

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

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