How these figures are counted. Revenue and spending are from a Maryland government's audited annual financial report for fiscal year 2025, grouped into the same categories as the Census figures. They count the government's governmental funds and its enterprise funds (such as water, sewer, transit or airports), including construction spending and debt payments (principal as well as interest), and leave out internal service funds, pension and other trust funds, transfers between funds, borrowed money, depreciation and separately governed agencies the report lists apart. Grants are split into federal and state money only where the report itself splits them.
The county's payments to the public school system, the community college and the library system, which the report lists as separate units, are shown on its fund statements as one line, Education, and are counted under Sent to other local governments. State shared taxes, grants and video lottery aid are counted as grants from other governments. Public works is counted under Roads, transit and parking, and health and human services under Social services. Construction and equipment costs the report does not tie to a service are counted under Running the government and other costs, and equipment and software the county financed through leases and subscriptions is left out of spending, as lease and subscription borrowing is left out of revenue. The county's water and wastewater, solid waste and child care funds are included. The U.S. Census Bureau's figures for Anne Arundel County also count Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Anne Arundel Community College and the library system, which the county's report lists as separate units, so they are much larger.
How a ZIP is matched. A ZIP code is not a government boundary, so we match it to the cities, counties and school districts that overlap it, using Census Bureau geography. Where a ZIP crosses several, each one is shown with its share of the ZIP. Each government's money covers its own operations only; the others listed here are separate.
Latest recorded year. The year differs by government: each block shows the newest fiscal year on file. A Census survey year covers fiscal years ending July 1 of the year before through June 30 of that year.
