How Fall River compares

Peer cities do not publish a library figure on its own, so this compares human services & culture as a whole — the category Library sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.

  • Taunton $136
  • New Bedford $94
  • Brockton $61
