State and local tax collections

Every tax dollar collected by a state and all the governments inside it: counties, cities, townships, school districts and special districts together. The governments report these themselves, so this is not a survey sample and not an estimate from a model.

Every state, every year

One row per state and one column per year, sorted by the latest value. It shows states, not counties: nobody can scan 3,222 rows, and the pattern only shows when it all fits on one screen.

Every tax collected by the state and by every local government inside it.

Combining areas: added up across areas.

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.

Highest and lowest, per 1,000 residents

Of 51 states reporting it. This is a count, so it is ranked per 1,000 residents, not as published. Ranked by raw totals, it would just list the largest states in the country. Its link to population is 0.58, so the raw order would match almost every other count here. The published totals are in the table on each place page.
