How to read this
- Per resident: divided by the Census Bureau's resident population estimate (July 1 of the calendar year holding most of the fiscal year; years after 2025 use the 2025 estimate). Federal amounts are where the work is done, not where recipients are based.
- Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
