Extracted from

Real budget books. Real ACFRs.

Not survey responses. We pull the actual audited financial reports each municipality files — then AI-extract the line items and peer-normalize them.

Municipal departments

Parks, libraries, police, fire, public works — extracted as individual dept-level budgets where available.

TIF & special districts

TIF revenue, BID/SSA fees tracked separately — not blended into general fund.

Community service overlap

Every municipality links to the park, school, and library districts serving its residents.
