August Quick Data Highlight
Fiscal Effort across 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia for 2019
Fiscal effort is the amount of money spent by the state and federal government on ID/DD supports and services per $1,000 of statewide personal income. In other words, how much a state spends on ID/DD services considering state wealth.
Fiscal effort lets us compare how much money different states spend on services and supports for people with ID/DD, even though states have different policies and state wealth.
Fiscal effort for the United States in 2019 was $4.60. Nevada spent as little as $1.61 per $1,000 of income, whereas the District of Columbia spent as much as $9.40 per $1,000 of income.
