How Fall River compares

Peer cities do not publish a purchasing figure on its own, so this compares general government as a whole — the category Purchasing sits inside.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
