How Fall River compares
Peer cities do not publish a city council figure on its own, so this compares general government as a whole — the category City Council sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.
- New Bedford $242
- Brockton $217
- Fall River $153
- Taunton $142
