Two municipalities spent less than $250 per capital, Howards Grove ($240) and Richfield ($219)." — Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, Municipal Facts, 2015
Basic Spending in Four Core Areas "Net basic spending per resident rebounded from its decline in 2012, increasing 1.6% from $522 to its 2011 level of $565 per capital. Three municipalities spent more than $1,000 per capital on basic services. Lake Delton ($1,682) and Wisconsin Dells ($1,223) both have large police expenditures due to an influx of tourists, especialy during the summer. Two municipalities spending less than $200 per capital were, again, Richfield ($179) and Howards Grove ($164)." — Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, Municipal Facts, 2015.
