What these figures carry
- The comparable reserves figure. Equals discretionary reserve funds plus reserves in every municipality-year filed, which is what makes it safe to compare when the two underlying columns are not.
The order changes with the basis. Which of these populations is the right divisor is not a technical detail: the tax base is properties, the services are used by whoever is present, and roughly 54% of the dwellings in this county are not occupied by permanent residents. No source states how much of the year a seasonal dwelling is occupied, so this atlas will not choose for you.
Which way is better
Higher is better. A reserve is what pays for the next culvert failure without borrowing. More is better, up to a point nobody in this county is near.
