Method: percentile rank (count below + 0.5 × count equal) ÷ N × 100, lower-better measures inverted; composite is the mean of available component scores, rounded to 1 decimal; a county needs at least 5 of 7 components or it is unranked, never estimated. Vintages: ACS 2024 5-year (2020–2024) for housing affordability, income, and commute; FBI Crime Data Explorer 2024 for violent crime; County Health Rankings 2025 release for graduation and uninsured. Unemployment (BLS LAUS 2024) is missing for every California county because the BLS public API was unreachable (HTTP 503) on 2026-10-25; composites rest on the other components and will be recomputed if BLS data becomes available.

School performance (proficiency): district-level proficiency values are published in the federal Ed Data Express tool and are retrievable by CSV export, but they have not yet been added to this page — the export requires a live-browser download (direct requests to the tool are blocked), so no proficiency figures are shown rather than substituted ones.

Neighbor comparison
How Mariposa County’s General Fund spending per resident and fund-balance share compare with adjacent counties, computed from each dashboard’s own published figures.
| Government | Per-capita GF spending | Fund balance % |
|---|---|---|
| Mariposa County (this dashboard) | $5,782.16 | — |
| Merced County | $2,082.07 | 29.73% |
| Stanislaus County | $981.11 | — |
| Tuolumne County | $2,301.05 | — |
| Madera County (no dashboard yet) | — | — |
GF figure: General Fund, FY 2025-26 adopted.
Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published
Stanislaus County: Fund-balance % dashed: no GF ending balance published ($72,186,652 funding required is a gap, not ending)
Tuolumne County: Fund-balance % dashed: fund balance available $3,524,876 is beginning, not ending
Madera County: No Madera County dashboard in this dataset (no county GF figure exists here); a city dashboard in the county, if any, does not supply a county figure.
Per-capita GF spending = the dashboard’s published General Fund total ÷ county population (ACS 2024 5-year, table B01003). Fund balance % = published GF ending balance ÷ GF total for the same fiscal year unless noted.
— in the fund-balance column means no GF ending balance is published on that dashboard (adopted budgets typically state only a January 1 balance).
Neighbor rows are county figures for the counties adjacent to the home county (U.S. Census Bureau County Adjacency File, 2024; out-of-state neighbors excluded).

- Sum checks: Schedule 1 governmental exact ($216,142,719); other funds exact ($29,258,579); all funds exact ($245,401,298); Schedule 7 functions exact ($213,959,446); total financing uses exact ($213,959,446 + $2,183,273 = $216,142,719).
- What is not claimed: supervisor names come from the county's board pages, not the budget book itself; no outstanding-debt total beyond the $4,609,890 debt-service function is shown from this book.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Mariposa County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
