9 Notes: This table was prepared for the Counting for Dollars Project at the Brookings Institution s Metropolitan Policy Program ( It was generated by a database of federal domestic assistance programs that used census-related datasets in Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 to: determine the eligibility of applicants, recipients, or beneficiaries geographically allocate all or some program funds by formula and/or score applications for project funding Census-related datasets include: the Census Bureau s Census 2000, annual Population Estimates, American Community Survey, Current Population Survey, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates, and list of Urbanized Areas Per Capita Income (Bureau of Economic Analysis), Area Median Income and Fair Market Rents ( ), Local Area Unemployment Statistics (Bureau of Labor Statistics), and statistical area delineations (Office of Management and Budget) Programs that rely on census-related data were identified through a review of the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance ( federal law and regulation, administrative materials, and, as necessary, communication with program personnel. The distribution of funds by geography was drawn from the Census Bureau s Consolidated Federal Funds Report (CFFR) ( Programs were assigned to OMB budget function codes on the basis of information found in Appendix III of the CFDA print edition. FY2008 is the latest year for which CFFR data are available. At times, program funds were deobligated for a given geography if, for example, program costs were less than were anticipated. If a program had a net deobligation in FY2008, expenditures for that program appear as negative. Negative numbers appear in parentheses. Cautions: For each program listed in the table, the dollar amount is the total expenditure as provided by the (CFFR). Spending figures on only that portion distributed on the basis of census-related data are not available. Hence, figures from the table should be cited with care and clarity. (Note: Nationally, at least 90 percent of funds spent by census-guided programs were in fact distributed on the basis of censusrelated data.) Data for a county with a state capital are likely to include distributions intended for pass-through from the state government to recipients across the state. While the Census Bureau estimates the geographic distribution of pass-throughs for larger grant programs (e.g., Medicaid, Highway Planning and Construction), it does not do so for smaller ones. Instead, funds for such programs are attributed to the county of the state capital. A per capita expenditure estimate is provided only to allow comparisons among geographic areas. It is not intended to suggest that the funding total will increase by the per capita estimate for each additional person counted in the census. Page 9 of 9
