Municipal Fiscal Indicators is an annual compendium of information compiled by the Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance, Municipal Finance Services Unit (MFS). Municipal Fiscal Indicators contains the most current financial data available for each of Connecticut's 169 municipalities.

The data contained in Indicators provides key financial and demographic information on municipalities in Connecticut. The data includes selected demographic and economic data relating to, or having an impact upon, a municipality’s financial condition.

The majority of this data was compiled from the audited financial statements that are filed annually with the State of Connecticut, Office of Policy and Management, Office of Finance. Unlike prior years' where the audited financial information was compiled by OPM, the FY 2020 and beyond information in this edition was based upon the self-reporting by municipalities of their own audited data.

Note: This dataset includes annually reported data using three types of years: calendar year, fiscal year, and grand list year. The calendar year spans January 1 to December 31. In Connecticut, the state fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, with the numerical year indicating when the fiscal year ends (e.g., fiscal year 2022 ended on June 30, 2022). The grand list year refers to the year municipalities assess property values, which occurs annually on October 1. For example, the property values assessed on October 1, 2020, are referred to as "Grand List Year 2020." However, these values are used to levy property taxes for the next fiscal year, spanning July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022. In this context, grand list year 2020 corresponds to fiscal year ending 2022. Similarly, mill rates for each year are based on the grand list from two years prior.

The most recent edition is for the Fiscal Years Ended 2018-2022 published in September 2024.

For the ******* school year, about ***** U.S. dollars were spent per child enrolled in pre-kindergarten programs across the United States. For students enrolled in the Head Start program, about ****** U.S. dollars were spent per child.

This dataset explores Early Care and Education Funding: Head Start Allocation and State-Funded Prekindergarten Participation. This data is state level and expresses the participation per state. Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child development programs that serve children from birth to age 5, their families, and pregnant women. The overall goal of these programs is to increase the school readiness of young children in families earning low incomes. The Head Start program delivers comprehensive services including: education, health, nutrition, screening for developmental delays, and a variety of social services, if the family needs them. The program is designed to meet the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of children. This data is from Latest Data: Fiscal Year 2004 (Head Start) and School Year 2002-2003 (State Funded Prekindergarten). This data is from National Child Care Information Center.

Following significant government support, 81.9% of secondary schools are now academies according to the government, with maintained schools increasingly converting. Both types remain under strict government guidelines, but academies can decide term dates, curriculums, subject choices and budget decisions. Despite several years of economic turmoil, government funding has remained strong because of the importance of maintaining and improving UK education standards. Secondary education revenue is expected to have grown at a compound annual rate of 1.4% to £66.1 billion over the five years through 2024-25, growing by 2.1% in 2024-25. The COVID-19 outbreak severely disrupted the day-to-day running of schools throughout 2020-21, with temporary closures forcing pupils to stay at home and learn online. The Educational Recovery Fund has supported educational catch-up, totalling around £5 billion in February 2022, preventing a significant drop in revenue during the COVID-19 outbreak. In cash terms, total funding for all state-funded schools totalled £60.7 billion in 2024-25 due to a £3.9 billion funding increase in 2024-25. Private school pupil numbers have marginally dipped, with the ISC recording a 0.1% decline in independent secondary school pupil numbers over the year through January 2024, with the cost-of-living crisis having squeezed some parents' purse strings. For the start of the 2024-25 academic year, private school enrolments were down, especially for new starters in their first year of secondary school, with the potenital for fee hikes if VAT is added in January 2025 looming. This could pose a threat to profit and place more pressure on state schools to open up available places. Secondary education revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2% to £72.9 billion over the five years through 2029-30. The number of international students attending independent schools has not fallen with immigration policies, as many independent schools hold Student Visa Sponsors. With school costs still continuing to grow by 4% in 2024-25, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, school funding per pupil will remain stretched.

In 2022, Luxembourg was the OECD country that spent the highest amount on higher education per student, reaching roughly 35,000 U.S. dollars. This was even though it was the country that spent the lowest amount in terms of share of gross domestic product. The United States stood at 11th place, with the United Kingdom at 30th place. On the other hand, Greece was the OECD country in which the lowest amount was spent per full-time student in higher education.

Revenue in Europe’s Secondary Education industry is expected to rise slightly at a compound annual rate of 0.7% to €361 billion over the five years through 2025. Secondary education is compulsory for those aged between 11 and 16, although some leaving ages vary in different European countries. Many secondary schools are public schools funded by local and national governments, ensuring that funding remains fairly stable and revenue isn’t volatile. Private or independent schools generate more revenue due to steep tuition fees per pupil. Europe is home to some of the most expensive private schools. Over 2020-21, the COVID-19 outbreak severely hampered the day-to-day running of schools. Temporary closures forced pupils to stay at home and learn online. Schools were forced to spend more on cleaning purchases and education technology when they were allowed to re-open under strict guidelines, which squeezed profit in 2020-21. Schools have since found their footing, retaining their status as essential institutions and a government funding priority, with revenue anticipated to creep upwards by 0.2% in 2025. Revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to €376.8 billion over the five years through 2030. Free schools, popularised in Sweden, have become a growing trend in secondary education, with the UK planning to make all of its secondary schools academies in 2030. Recently, doubt has been cast on their effectiveness, with the Swedish government set to investigate reports surrounding their poor quality and parent and teacher dissatisfaction. Technology will continue to improve teaching in secondary education, and courses will teach more digital skills that complement face-to-face teaching.

In 2018, the national average for spending on elementary and secondary education was 3.1 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Vermont spent the most out of any state on elementary and secondary education, at 5.38 percent of its GDP.

Second-level junior schools rely on government funding, which is primarily based on the number of pupils in education. A rising number of pupils in secondary schools has supported revenue growth. Secondary school revenue grew at a compound annual rate of 2.5% over the five years through 2025 to €4.3 billion. Marginally higher enrolment in independent schools and higher fees have also slightly pushed up profit. Revenue was supported by a 21.6% growth in expenditure per student in 2017 according to the Central Statistics Office, with per-student spending remaining high since then. Funding provided to the Department of Education (DoE) under the government’s yearly budget has risen yearly between 2013 and 2024 (bar in 2020). In the 2025 Budget, the DoE allocated €11.8 billion to primary and post-primary schools, marking a 9% increase from the budget in 2024, supporting revenue growth of 6.7% in 2025. Inflationary pressures in the three years through 2025 have worsened the costs facing schools and the 2024 Budget marked a real-term cut in current core expenditure compared to 2023. However, revenue has been supported by rising private school enrolments following Brexit, encouraging more EU parents wanting English education to send their children to Irish schools rather than those in the UK. Secondary schools will continue to experience growth, supported by a rise in the student-age population. Revenue will rise at a compound annual rate of 2.2% over the five years through 2030 to reach €4.8 billion. Under Project Ireland 2040, the education sector will receive €4.4 billion in capital investment between 2021 and 2025 to support the expansion of high-quality education buildings and school digital resources. Current waiting lists will also support private school demand, though the proposed removal of state funding for private schools could lead to some closures.

In 2024, public spending on education in China reached *** trillion yuan. Education expenditure increased continuously over recent years, but growth rates are considerably lower than ten years ago. Development of public spending on education Since the beginning of the reform era, the Chinese government attached great importance to the development of the educational sector. Besides structural reforms, public spending on education was increased considerably. However, the whole educational sector lagged far behind international standards in terms of quality as well as quantity. Public expenditure on education as a share of the national GDP, which is a common measure to compare educational systems, ranged at only around 2.5 percent in the mid-1990s. In 1993, the government announced the plan to increase educational spending to four percent of the GDP until 2000, but it took 12 more years to reach that target. However, considering that at the same time the GDP grew by double digits most of the years, the financial situation of the education sector improved greatly. This manifests itself in the substantially increased number of graduates and quality of degrees. Since achieving the four percent target in 2012, the growth of educational spending, which had reached more than ** percent per year in the years before, was reduced to levels equaling the GDP growth. Compared to the public spending on education of developed countries, China is still at the lower range and did not reach the OECD average of around *** percent of the GDP in 2018. Spending per student Even though educational spending in China improved a lot in the last decades, when calculated per student, expenditure is still far behind developed countries. While spending per student on a tertiary level of education in OECD countries averaged around ****** U.S. dollars in 2020, it reached only ****** yuan per student in China in 2023, which is less than one third. This fact sheds some light on the average quality level of the educational system in China on a general basis and reminds us that China is a huge and populous country. Of which, some elite schools in the big cities coexist with vast numbers of schools in the countryside operating on a completely different level of quality.

The appearance of a child in the world is a joy, but also an expense. According to the Statistics Poland, the average salary in Poland amounted to ******** zloty (***** net zloty) in 2019. The total costs of the standard set amounted to over *** thousand zloty. This means that *** of the average wage should be spent on the purchase of a basic set of products for the child. Polish parents receive support from the state in the form of a benefit of *** zloty per month for each child, its sum in the first year of child's life covers ** percent of the costs of the examined basket of products.

In 2022, Norway was the country that spent the highest share of its gross domestic product (GDP) on higher education, reaching 1.8 percent. Of this, 0.1 percent came from private sources. Austria followed behind with its total spending reaching 1.6 percent of its GDP. On the other hand, higher education spending in Luxembourg only amounted to 0.4 percent of its GDP.

This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in the United States in October to November 2024. U.S. consumers were asked how much they usually plan to spend on Christmas gifts for their children. During the survey, 16 percent of the respondents said that they plan to spend more that $200 on Christmas gifts per child.
