Current·Data to 2024

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Taxes collected by each state government and its local governments (U.S. Census Bureau, State and Local Government Finances, fiscal years) divided by residents’ personal income (BEA, calendar years): a Palanor calculation. Not the Tax Foundation’s tax burden, which reassigns taxes paid by nonresidents to the states where they live.

The states where state and local governments collect the most and the least tax relative to residents’ income, with the U.S. figure for reference. The data table lists every state.
