Where the money goes

The €69M spent in 2025, by who receives it.

Contracts state a maximum amount for their whole term, often several years. That amount differs from what was paid. Purchases, services and works paid to companies by the town in 2025: €19M (its accounts).

What the town paid in 2025 for these kinds of purchase, from its accounts

  • Phone and internetall suppliers together · contract in the list: Mobiuspaid €230k

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 €19M 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

€10M of capital spending in 2025 (building, renovation, equipment), €252 per resident. Towns of the same size: €372.

Who spends for the residents of Saint-Joseph

Spending per resident in 2025 of each public body the town belongs to, and what each one pays for.

  • TownSaint-JosephPrimary schools, canteens, local streets, civil registry
    €1,745 per resident
  • IntercommunalityCommunauté d'agglomération du SudWaste, water, urban transport, economic development
    €564 per resident
  • DépartementLa RéunionMinimum income, elderly and disability care, middle schools, county roads
    €1,481 per resident
  • RegionLa RéunionHigh schools, regional trains, training, business support
    €1,018 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.
