How Fall River compares
Peer cities do not publish a fire & emergency services figure on its own, so this compares public safety as a whole — the category Fire & Emergency Services sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.
- Taunton $787
- Brockton $698
