What the numbers mean

Minturn runs city-owned utilities, which add 24.3% of its revenue. Cities that don't run utilities will look lower on revenue and spending per resident for that reason alone. What counts as utility revenue
With about 1,156 residents, small changes in Minturn's budget move per-resident figures a lot. Compare several years, not one.
