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).
- Location is where the work is performed, not where the recipient is based.
- Medicare payments are published as aggregate records placed where Medicare's claims contractors are (mostly Minnesota, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Dakota, Connecticut, Florida and South Carolina), not where patients live, so those states show far more HHS money than their population suggests (ask for Medicare payments by patients' home state for where beneficiaries live) (North Dakota's per-resident figure is mostly Medicare).
- '(outside the US)' is work performed abroad; '(not reported)' has no location in the source.
