Yes, so? Lake Charles is a city. EBR is not just the city of Baton Rouge.
Right.
800,000,000/440,000 = $1,818 per person
Why so much higher?

Because it's a combined city + parish budget + regional grants/programs?
I'm assuming that's why Russian chose independent cities as an apples to apples comparison with St George.

I got the numbers for Lafayette Parish, which also has a consolidated city/parish form of government like EBR has, and the only numbers I found were...

The proposed LCG budget covers a total of $598 million, $367 million of which is in the operations funds. The Lafayette city general fund under the budget proposal is at $92.5 million.
With a population of 227,055, that means Lafayette Parish is spending $2,634/person.
Again, that number was so out of line with the other numbers, I didn't include Laf Parish on my spreadsheet.
