chasfh Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 California received the most federal aid of any state: $116.0 billion. Rounding out the top five were New York ($79.2 billion), Texas ($68.2 billion), Florida ($41.7 billion), and Pennsylvania ($41.0 billion). States that relied the most on federal grants varied in size, demographic makeup, and location. Vermont relied on federal grants the most: 35.8% of its budget came from the federal government. West Virginia followed at 34.1%, and Alaska at 33.9%. On a per-person basis, Washington, DC, received the most: $6,983. Wyoming received more than any other state, at $6,894 per person. Georgia received the least federal funding per person, with $1,807 in 2020. Florida, despite receiving more federal funding than 46 other states, received the second least per person: $1,937. Federal grants are divided into two categories: formula grants and competitive grants. Formula grants are based on such factors as population size, poverty rates, or specific needs of the area. Competitive grants require state and local governments to submit applications outlining their plans to use the grant money effectively.

Perhaps intervention and lack of firearms are helping there. But, they may not be reporting binge drinking deaths as suicides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a big gap of land between Hawaii and anything else. Kiribati is famous because it was the site of the first landing of Nimitz central pacific drive at Tarawa.
