      Paris publishes its budget data as raw CSVs and PDFs. We built an open-source platform that transforms this into interactive visualizations anyone can explore.

      This chart breaks down the city’s budget into 11 thematic categories and shows how much each Parisian effectively “pays” per day. The biggest slices: personnel & admin, social services and urban planning.

      Source: Open data from [opendata.paris.fr](http://opendata.paris.fr), processed through a dbt/BigQuery pipeline.

      Breaking this down to ~14.4 € per day per person is a really clever way to contextualize an €11.7B budget. It makes the macro numbers feel much more tangible. I’m actually surprised ‘Personnel & Admin’ barely edges out ‘Action Sociale’!
