Benchmarks and vendors

How each district compares with others on taxes, debt and fees, and which firms work for which districts. Boards can use this when setting rates, approving fees and choosing vendors. Every district with financial data on file joins the comparison automatically.

District benchmarks

13 district(s) with financial data so far. More are added as their audits, budgets and official statements are collected; the comparison fills in as they are. Hover a value for exactly what it measures.

Vendor index

Consultants from each district's own listings, and contractors named in contract awards in board minutes. Working for several districts is normal and often efficient. It also means a firm can sit on both sides when those districts deal with each other, and that a few firms can shape prices across a whole area.
