How Fall River compares
Peer cities do not publish a special education - chapter 71b figure on its own, so this compares state & county assessments as a whole — the category Special Education - Chapter 71B sits inside. Figures are general-fund only, so enterprise funds like water and sewer are excluded on every city.
- Fall River $498
- New Bedford $415
- Brockton $379
- Taunton $125
