Extracted from Nashville's own budget document — general funds by function, general services district. Every figure below adds up to the total the city printed in that document; nothing is estimated. A person still checks these numbers against the city's published pages before OpenGovs calls them verified data.

11 departments. Bar width = share of the largest department; the source document publishes no level below this.

No city map: Nashville appropriates by function — law enforcement, fire, health — rather than by department, so there is no agency in the document to place in a building.

Line-item detail

This city's budget book publishes department totals, not individual line items, so there is nothing finer to show. The figures in the league table are the document's own department rows and add up exactly to the total it prints. Cities that publish a machine-readable export — New York and Houston, for instance — get full line-item detail here.
