Frequently Asked Questions
How many small cities are tracked on CitySpend?
CitySpend tracks 531 small cities with populations 50K to 100K. Together they represent 36.9M residents.
What is the average fiscal health score for small cities?
The average fiscal health score for small cities is 59 out of 100. They average $19,243 in spending per capita and $328 in debt per capita.
How does city size affect fiscal health?
Larger cities tend to have higher per-capita spending due to complex urban service needs (transit, housing, public safety). Smaller cities often show lower per-capita debt but may rely more heavily on a single revenue source like property taxes.
What data sources are used for city spending comparisons?
All data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. Population figures are from the American Community Survey. Our Fiscal Health Score is a proprietary composite of six weighted factors.
Data: U.S. Census Bureau, Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. Per-capita figures based on American Community Survey population estimates.
