What these figures carry
- That is not the 10 years the metric name implies. The Financial Information Return series ingested here begins in 2015, and the municipality may not have filed in every year.
- Deflated by Ontario all-items annual average CPI to constant 2024 dollars. CPI measures consumer prices, not municipal input costs; construction and fuel have moved differently.
Dysart et al
- Measured 2015 to 2024, a span of 9 years.
- One year carries most of this: 54% of the whole change happened between 2021 and 2022. A compound rate spreads a step evenly across the span, so the line reads as steady growth where the filing shows a level shift. That is as often a change in what the municipality books to the line as a change in what it spends.
Minden Hills
- Measured 2015 to 2023, a span of 8 years.
- One year carries most of this: 67% of the whole change happened between 2018 and 2019. A compound rate spreads a step evenly across the span, so the line reads as steady growth where the filing shows a level shift. That is as often a change in what the municipality books to the line as a change in what it spends.

Which way is better
Contested. Which column reserve money is filed in is a filing choice; only the total is comparable, and it is declared above. Nothing on this page is ranked, and the bars are ordered by size rather than by merit.
