What the numbers mean

  • Nunn runs city-owned utilities, which add 14.7% 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 516 residents, small changes in Nunn's budget move per-resident figures a lot. Compare several years, not one.
