Hidalgo County

Is spending increasing?

Compare adopted spending plans, not actual spending.

Both years exclude interfund transfers. General Fund spending is already included in all county funds; do not add them together. Changes are not inflation-adjusted. Bars are scaled within each card.

Start with revenue. Add transfers and other financing coming in, then subtract spending and financing outflows. The final bar is what remains, not another source of money.

A deficit means planned outflows exceed inflows. It may be funded from existing reserves; it does not by itself establish a cash shortage. Beginning fund balance is excluded. This is the General Fund only, not the whole county.
