Why not this year? Wyoming governments with newer filings show county, city and town figures from the Wyoming Department of Audit (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.

Natrona County School District 1. U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances, individual unit file, fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Town of Mills. Wyoming Department of Audit, Public Funds Division, Survey of Local Government Finances (Local Government Dashboard), fiscal year 2025, 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.

How these figures are counted. Wyoming figures come from the annual Survey of Local Government Finances that each government files with the Wyoming Department of Audit, Public Funds Division, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. They are actual revenue and spending, not budgets, and cover governmental and enterprise funds such as water, sewer and electric. Transfers between a government's own funds, borrowing and debt principal are not counted, so debt payments are interest only. County-run boards that file their own reports, such as hospitals, libraries and fairs, are not included.

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.
