Description: The data depicted is sourced from work published online by Professor Andrew Reamer of the George Washington University Institute of Public Policy, published an analysis of 16 large federal programs that utilize Census-derived datasets to set state funding levels, with details on the methodology used, and (a drum roll please), specific data for each program and state. The study, titled Counting for Dollars 2020: The Role of the Decennial Census in the Geographic Distribution of Federal Funds,
The per capita totals across the 16 programs that were examined were certainly not linear with respect to population, ranging from a high of $4,583 (DC) to a low of $1,086 (UT, what?!) with a national average of $1,838 (US).
This is important work as it ‘daylights’ supporting info for those anecdotal mentions that tie federal funding to complete count efforts and thereby the importance of building and sharing complete, up-to-date GIS data with Census in a manner that will best coincides with the preparation and field work for 2020.
