Why not this year? Oregon governments with newer filings show school district figures from the Oregon Department of 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.

Oregon Department of Education, School Finance Accountability and Transparency, actual revenue and expenditure data, 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.

How these figures are counted. Oregon school district and education service district figures are the actual revenue and spending each one reported to the Oregon Department of Education for the school year ended June 30, 2025 (2024-25). They cover all of the district's funds except internal service and trust funds, and include construction spending. Transfers between funds, debt proceeds and beginning balances are left out. Spending is grouped as education and debt payments.

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.
