For fiscal year 2021-22 the state's performance review reported revenues of $17.82 million and spending of $15.28 million, at a tax rate of 0.1609 mills, per the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability. The district's strategic plan says it has grown from 6 square miles in 1950 to about 730 square miles.
