median of 23 similar-size cities in UT
From the Census Bureau's survey of local government finances, which classifies every city's own accounts the same way; utilities and enterprise funds are included where the city runs them. Compared with the median mix of similar-size cities in the same state - a description of how the money is allocated, not a judgement of it. Read from the Census Bureau, Annual Survey of State & Local Government Finances.
Every number is the district’s own reporting: the yearly series and peer median come from its filings to the U.S. Census Bureau (all funds, comparable nationwide); the most recent school year comes from its filing to the state (General Fund) - two scopes, shown separately, never mixed. Dollars are divided by the district’s enrollment; the peer median is a size cohort, not a ranking. This is spending, never a rating of schools.
What the council decides, from the minutes - counts and roll calls, never a rating.
By reported crime, Mapleton recorded fewer reported offenses than similar-size communities in 2025 - Good on AreaMatter's community-safety measure.

Counts are what agencies reported; practices differ between agencies and years.
Violent offenses are down 27% since 2021 and property offenses are down 27% since 2021, by the rates Mapleton's police reported to the FBI (population-adjusted, complete reporting years only).
