Where the money goes
The €47M spent in 2025, by who receives it.
Source: the town’s 2025 accounts (DGFiP).

What the town paid in 2025 for these kinds of purchase, from its accounts
- Office and school suppliesall suppliers together · contract in the list: Axolispaid €62k
The accounts say how much was paid for each kind of purchase, not to which company. A purchase paid by another public body (joint order, shared service) is not in them.
Why this total differs from the €21.3M of purchases, services and works paid to companies
These are the amounts of the contracts signed in the year, over their whole length, not what was paid. The money paid in a year also goes to older contracts and to purchases too small to be published (under €40,000 excl. VAT). For a framework agreement, the amount is a ceiling.
Investment and works
€13.5M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €565 per resident. Towns of the same size: €372.

Debt and taxation
Accounts 2025, main budget (excluding annex budgets such as water), except debt and savings: main and annex budgets together (OFGL consolidated accounts). Per resident: amount divided by the total population (Insee, in force in the year of the accounts). Sources: DGFiP, OFGL. “Towns of the same size”: median of the 359 towns of 20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants.
Who spends for the residents of Rochefort
Spending per resident in 2025 of each public body the town belongs to, and what each one pays for.
- TownRochefortPrimary schools, canteens, local streets, civil registry€1,972 per resident
- IntercommunalityCommunauté d'agglomération Rochefort OcéanWaste, water, urban transport, economic development€602 per resident
- DépartementCharente-MaritimeMinimum income, elderly and disability care, middle schools, county roads€1,265 per resident
- RegionNouvelle-AquitaineHigh schools, regional trains, training, business support€519 per resident
Each amount is what the body spends per resident, from its accounts (DGFiP). Do not add them up: part of the money passes from one body to another.
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 towns of 20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants are ranked from lowest to highest value; the median is the value in the middle. A value above or below the median is not a judgement: it depends on the area, the population and the powers held by the intercommunality.
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.
