Overview
The data are from the Census Bureau's Consolidated Federal Funds Reports on Federal
expenditures and obligations for grants, salaries and wages,
procurements, direct payments, direct loans, guaranteed loans, and
insurance obtained from Federal Government agencies. ERS screens
the data for each Federal program for accuracy at the county level
and then presents the data by function and type of program for each
county and State. See the complete data documentation for
details.
Each file contains Federal outlays by program for each county in
the State. County population is also included so that per capita
spending can be calculated. Summary of the data for the United
States and a ZIP file for all States are also available.
