Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive guide to Denver’s 2026 city budget, breaking spending down by topic, fund, revenue source, and more.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-15 issue.

For: Denver residents tracking city budgets, taxes, and public services
Worth noticing: Homelessness is explicitly labeled an estimate; education excludes Denver Public Schools, a separate government.

Field notes

The explorer separates the General Fund from all city funds and lets readers move among topic, revenue, tax, bond, airport, and nonprofit views. Its topic figures carry scope notes: the homelessness total is explicitly an estimate limited to clearly directed lines, while Denver Public Schools is excluded because it has a separate government budget. Rows cite budget page numbers, and charts offer PNG and SVG downloads.
