Saint Paul owes more than it owns.

Saint Paul's Taxpayer Burden™ is -$1,600, and it received a "C" from TIA.

Saint Paul is a Sinkhole City without enough assets to cover its debt.

Decisions by elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of city bills after its available assets have been tapped.

TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates all assets and liabilities, including retirement obligations.

Saint Paul only has $834.9 million of assets available to pay bills totaling $1 billion.

Because Saint Paul doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$182.6 million financial hole. To erase this shortfall, each Saint Paul taxpayer would have to send -$1,600 to the city.

Saint Paul's reported net position is understated by $72.6 million, largely because the city defers recognizing gains resulting from decreases in retirement liabilities.

The city had not released its FY2022 financial report as of January 15, 2024.
