ZIP 72002 · Bryant, AR

Four governments run on your community's money

This page shows every government that serves ZIP 72002: the state, county, city or town and school district, and where each one's money comes from and goes.

Each government is shown for its own newest fiscal year on file, so the years differ. Figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, the government's own report or, for Arkansas governments, the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, as named under Sources and more.

Why not this year? Arkansas governments with newer filings show school district figures from the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (for 2025). Each other figure is the newest year the U.S. Census Bureau has published for that government, so the years differ and are not the current year. Most governments post their current budget on their own website.

Sources and moreEach government's source, fiscal year and how a ZIP is matched

State of Arkansas. U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Saline County. U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Most of this government's figures were estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau from a sample; the government did not report them itself.

Bryant School District 25. Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, Annual Statistical Report of the Public Schools of Arkansas (actual revenues and expenditures), school year 2024-25, fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The earlier Census figures are from U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

City of Bryant. U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

How these figures are counted. Arkansas school district figures are the actual revenues and expenditures each district reported to the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education in the Annual Statistical Report for fiscal year 2025 (the 2024-25 school year, ended June 30, 2025). Local revenue other than property taxes (fees, food sales, interest and similar receipts) is shown as one line, because the state report does not split it. Bond and loan proceeds, asset sales and transfers between funds are not counted as revenue. Spending includes construction, and debt payments include principal as well as interest, so spending can read higher than the U.S. Census Bureau's figure for the same year.

How a ZIP is matched. A ZIP code is not a government boundary, so we match it to the cities, counties and school districts that overlap it, using Census Bureau geography. Where a ZIP crosses several, each one is shown with its share of the ZIP. Each government's money covers its own operations only; the others listed here are separate.

Latest recorded year. The year differs by government: each block shows the newest fiscal year on file. A Census survey year covers fiscal years ending July 1 of the year before through June 30 of that year.
