The pie charts illustrate how the town of Greensboro allocates its budget across four categories – schools, salaries, roads, and parks and recreation – over three different years.
Overall, schools receive the largest proportion of spending in all three years, while parks and recreation consistently account for the smallest share. The data also shows a clear shift toward increased funding for education and salaries over time.
Last year, schools and salaries each accounted for 30% of the total budget, while roads made up 25%. Parks and recreation received the smallest allocation at 15%. This year, the proportion for salaries remains unchanged, but the share for schools rises to 35%. Meanwhile, funding for roads decreases to 20%, and parks and recreation stay at 15%.
Next year, the proportion for roads is expected to remain stable at 20%. However, schools are projected to receive a substantial increase to 40%, the highest figure across all years, while the allocation for salaries will rise to 35%. In contrast, spending on parks and recreation is forecast to fall sharply to only 5%.
