Plays the chart through its history, period by period.

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.

How much state and local governments in each state collect in taxes, relative to the income of the people who live there. The legend gives each shade’s range; use the slider to step back through earlier years.
