What the numbers mean

Where the money comes from and where it goes

Per resident, FY2016. Bars show Greenwood Village; the gold tick is the peer median. How categories work

Regional hub: sales tax per resident is 4.1× the Colorado median.

Sales tax per resident is high, which usually means many non-residents shop, stay or work here. Per-resident figures divide citywide totals by residents only, so they overstate what residents themselves pay and use.

The biggest difference from peers is Transportation: $1,197 per resident, 3.0× the peer median. On the revenue side, sales tax is 2.4× peers.
