The States That Are Most Reliant on Federal Aid
As Americans head to the polls — or the mail-in
ballot drop boxes — voters
will weigh in on their own state's financial
health based on who they
elect in state, local and federal elections.
To put states' financial health — and the
potential impact on residents of
those states — into context, MoneyGeek analyzed
and ranked states
according to their dependence on the federal
government. Rankings account
for political affiliation, net benefits
individuals and organizations in
the state receive, state government revenue from
federal sources and GDP
per capita. Key Findings:
7 of the 10 states most dependent on the
federal government were
Republican-voting, with the average red state
receiving $1.05 per
dollar spent. Twenty-nine states sent more to
the federal government
than they received, compared to just nine
states in 2021. Of the
states that sent more than they received, 52%
were Democrat-voting and
48% were Republican-voting. New Mexico had the
highest return on
federal spending of any state ($3.69), and
Delaware had the lowest
($0.32).
