How state and local government funding, federal grants, and campaign finance compare across states. All figures are computed live from the underlying tables, not pre-baked.

Federal grant dependency

by state

Share of tracked government revenue (local funding + federal grants) that comes from federal grants, highest first. Limited to states with at least 5 reporting entities on both sides. Funding-table coverage is uneven, so thinner states are excluded rather than shown with false precision.

Local government funding per capita

by state, 2022

Total tracked local government revenue divided by 2023 state population. (N) is the number of reporting entities behind each figure. Coverage varies by state.

Federal grants per capita

by state, FY2024

Total federal grant dollars awarded to tracked entities, divided by state population. (N) is the number of recipient entities behind each figure.

Campaign finance by party

2024 cycle, current officials

Total receipts raised by currently-serving officials, by party.
