USA Simple Civics — Money by State Research checked: October 17, 2026 MODERN COVERAGE 2013 and each year 2016–2024: 50 states, D.C., and a national record = 520 records. No interpolation of missing years. 2005 is a separate ratio-only historical snapshot from the Tax Foundation. Do not splice it into the modern series as a continuous comparison. SOURCE AND UNITS Each modern workbook is from the New York State Office of the State Comptroller. Taxes Paid and Expenditures sheet column B is in millions; multiply by 1,000,000 for the downloadable CSV and JSON. Column C contains the publisher's per-person estimate. Balance of Payments column B and C are retained. Ratio = expenditures / taxes. All arithmetic uses unrounded cached workbook values. Published estimates are preserved, not relabeled as independently audited federal cash flows. Inflation is not removed. Blank CSV cells mean unavailable/not included, never zero. Prior-year spending-category breakdowns are intentionally not included in this extract; the breakdown is for 2024 only. 2024 CATEGORIES Direct Payments; Grants; Procurement (Contracts); Wages and Salaries; Other Identified Federal Expend. These are non-overlapping source categories and reconcile to total expenditures for every jurisdiction. Do not add Medicaid or Medicare again. MATERIAL LIMITS 2022 includes accounting costs for the broad student loan forgiveness proposal later blocked by the Supreme Court. 2023 does not allocate the reversing negative subsidy to states (2023 report endnote 2). Do not describe those entries as debt relief received. Pandemic years and the accounting issue are flagged on the page. Exclusions include customs duties, most debt interest, international spending and territories. D.C. is included nationally, separate from state counts. Population vintages differ by publication; source per-person numbers are preserved. The national 2016 population cell appears stale, so extraction uses the actual per-person series rather than recalculating it from that cell. PARTY CONTEXT Reused existing city-economies-legislative-control.json research. House and Senate party membership majorities with source dates are retained; these do not establish coalition leadership, governor party or year-long control. Nebraska is officially unicameral/nonpartisan. D.C. has no record in this state dataset.

National totals are the published source totals. The $3 million discrepancy in 2016 spending is a source workbook discrepancy, not adjusted away. Smaller differences are retained and documented above. Every state net amount and net per-person amount reconciles to its source paid and received values.
