Executive Overview
Every chart and stat card on this page opens when you click it, showing the records behind the number. Where nothing opens, it's because the city doesn't publish records at that level of detail today. When I'm mayor, it will.
City financial-statement figures for 2025 and 2026 (through June 30, 2026) have not yet been audited; audited financial history runs through 2024. Other records identify their own source, accounting basis and reporting window.
