Data sources.
The figures on this site are compiled from public government records: the U.S. Census Bureau’s government finance surveys, governments’ own published financial reports, and the White House Office of Management and Budget’s historical tables. Every page names its source and fiscal year.

Accuracy and notice.
We check the data carefully, but government figures are revised, governments close their books on different dates, and some figures are Census Bureau estimates. The information is provided “as is” for general informational and educational purposes only. For official figures, consult the government’s own budget or audited financial report.
