Every state's figures here reconcile to the CAG's own printed state totals. A few heads (Ecology & Environment, Civil Supplies, Grants-in-Aid) appear only on the revenue side. Per-person figures use projected 2021 population (National Commission on Population, 2019) and are indicative. Negative or blank source entries are shown as zero.
