Expenditures by function across all of the city’s governmental funds in FY2021, exactly as categorized in the ACFR’s governmental funds statement. Capital outlay dominates because bond and SPLOST funds were building major projects that year; the ACFR attributes the year’s $28,925,143 decrease in governmental fund balances primarily to building capital projects with SPLOST and bond funds.
FY2021 governmental expendituresCapital outlay alone is 60.6% of the total.

Every figure on this page is an FY2021 audited actual taken from the City of Lawrenceville’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, published in the city’s Archive Center. The city’s fiscal year ends June 30, so “FY2021” means the year from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. These are audited actual results, not an adopted budget.
This page was originally scoped to the city’s FY2024 Annual Budget book hosted on the University of Georgia Carl Vinson Institute’s TED portal. That portal was unavailable — returning a “down for maintenance” notice (HTTP 503) on repeated attempts on October 23, 2026 — so the newer budget book could not be retrieved, and this dashboard was built instead from the FY2021 ACFR, the fallback document specified for this build. No figure has been carried over from any other year or source.
Percentage shares are computed from the ACFR’s own amounts. The population figure is the one number not measured in FY2021: the ACFR’s demographic schedule marks FY2020 and FY2021 population data as not available at publication, and its letter of transmittal cites a 2019 U.S. Census Bureau estimate of 30,834 for Lawrenceville — which is the figure shown, labeled as a 2019 estimate.
