Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 87%
  • From the state 8%
  • Interest, fines & other 3%
  • Other taxes & licenses 1%
  • Fees & charges 1%

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

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