US Municipal Governments
Industry Description
The US has about 36,000 municipal and township governments with combined annual revenue of approximately $1.5 trillion. The form of municipal government varies widely. Most larger cities have an executive system managed by a mayor or city manager. Many smaller municipalities, especially in the eastern part of the country, are managed by a town board system overseen by a board of selectmen. Some towns in New England still decide many issues by town meetings. Municipal revenue per capita varies widely even among the nation's largest cities, from less than $1,300 in El Paso, Texas, to over $9,600 in New York City; the national average among the nation's 35 largest cities is just under $5,000.
