Who spends for the residents of Esse

Understanding these figures

Running costs and works: what is the difference?

Running costs are each year’s spending: wages, energy, upkeep, grants. Works create or renovate something that lasts: a school, a road, a sports hall.

How is the comparison with towns of the same size made?

The median is the middle value among towns of the same size. A value above or below it is not a judgement.

Where do these figures come from?

From the town’s accounts kept by the public accountant (DGFiP), the local finance observatory (OFGL) and public procurement data. Qipu changes no amount.
