Share of taxes from general sales and gross receipts
The percentage of total tax money from general sales and 'gross receipts' taxes. Note the second part: the Census puts taxes on a business's total sales here. So Oregon seems to raise 4.2% from 'sales' with no sales tax at all. That figure is its Corporate Activity Tax. Washington's B&O tax and Texas's margin tax are here too, which is why those states show no corporate income tax.

Census government finances · Census government finances LF0011
Includes taxes on a business's total sales, so a state with no sales tax can still show a figure here. A share of the tax money the state and its local governments collect, not a rate anyone pays.
Combining areas: an average weighted by state and local tax collections.
Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of states. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across states: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. States with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.

Of 51 states reporting it. These are the two ends of a national ranking. For most measures, that ranking mostly sorts places by income and how urban they are. That is why the place pages compare each place with similar places instead.
