Maplewood City Budget

This sunburst chart presents a simplified Maplewood City budget. It begins with the total allocation to each department and then shows the programmes that consume each department’s budget. The structure lets residents see both the relative size of public safety, public works and community services and the split within those groups. It is a communication chart, not the complete budget book: debt service, grants and restricted funds may need their own treatment in a real report. Always state the fiscal year, currency and whether values are adopted or proposed. Keep the chart to a few departments and programmes so labels remain readable. For line-item scrutiny, publish a table alongside the visual rather than trying to fit every account into the outer ring.
