State and Local Finances for 2024
On August 7, 2026 we updated the state and local spending and revenue for FY 2024 using the new Census Bureau State and Local Government Finances summaries for FY 2024 released in July 2026. (See also Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances). The release includes state and local spending for the United States as a whole and the 50 individual states and the District of Columbia.
State and local spending and revenue for FY2024 are now actual historical spending as reported by the Census Bureau.
We have updated the "guesstimated" state and local finances for FY2025-31 as indicated in our "guesstimate" blog entries.
We have also updated data for individual local government units with data for 2024.
Beginning in 2022 the Census Bureau has changed the value for Line 56 Direct Expenditure and Line 7 General Revenue from own sources, as follows:
We have decided to end our publication of non-insurance trust cash and security holdings.
However, to keep the time series at usgovernmentspending.com consistent, we have decided to add insurance-trust values back into Line 56 and Line 7 values.
