Office of Economic and Demographic Research 1. Federal Direct Expenditures by Category The distribution of the $176 billion in federal direct expenditures by county geographic area is summarized in Table 2-1 on pages 32-33. In total, the magnitude of federal direct expenditures varied significantly by county from a low of $43.1 million within Glades County to a high of $20 billion within Leon County. Direct payments for individuals for retirement and disability totaled $62.3 billion statewide. The value of such payments varied from a low of $15.4 million within Lafayette County to a high of $5.2 billion within Miami-Dade County. Such payments to individuals totaled one billion dollars or more in 21 counties: Brevard, Broward, Collier, Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Miami-Dade, Okaloosa, Orange, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, St. Lucie, Sarasota, Seminole, and Volusia. Direct payments to individuals other than for retirement and disability totaled $50.7 billion statewide. Such payments ranged from a low of $9.8 million within Lafayette County to a high of $6.3 billion within Leon County. Other direct payments to individuals totaled one billion dollars or more in 14 counties: Brevard, Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Lee, Leon, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, and Volusia. Federal grant obligations totaled $32 billion statewide. Leon County had the largest grant obligation at $12.8 billion; Glades County had the smallest at $7.9 million. Although the majority of Leon County’s total is due to the coding issue previously discussed, reported grant obligations exceeded $500 million in 10 other counties: Alachua, Brevard, Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Polk. Federal procurement contracts totaled $18.5 billion statewide. The value of such contracts ranged from a low of $286,000 within Dixie County to a high of $3.1 billion within Orange County. In addition to Orange County, Brevard, Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Okaloosa, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and St. Johns counties each had contracts valued greater than $500 million. Federal salary and wage payments totaled $12.2 billion statewide. The value of such payments varied from a low of $976,000 within Glades County to a high of $1.7 billion within Miami-Dade County. Federal salary and wage payments totaled $200 million or more in 13 counties: Alachua, Bay, Brevard, Broward, Duval, Escambia, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Okaloosa, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas, and Walton. 2. Per Capita Federal Direct Expenditures by Category Table 2-2 on pages 34-35 lists the per capita federal direct expenditures by category within each county geographic area. Excluding Leon County due to the data coding of significant federal funding to the seat of state government, per capita total direct expenditures varied from a low of $3,810 30 Review of Federal Funding to Florida in Fiscal Year 2009
within Glades County to a high of $15,417 within Okaloosa County. Office of Economic and Demographic Research Per capita direct payments to individuals for retirement and disability varied from a low of $1,837 within Glades County to a high of $6,437 within Lake County. Per capita direct payments to individuals other than for retirement and disability ranged from a low of $483 within Miami-Dade County to a high of $3,717 within Okeechobee County. Again excluding Leon County from consideration, per capita grants varied from a low of $336 within Osceola County to a high of $3,547 within Jackson County. Of the twenty county geographic areas having the highest per capita grants figures, fifteen are less populated, rural areas in the northwest and north central regions of the state, which demonstrates the relative importance of federal grants as a revenue source to these areas. Per capita procurement contracts varied from a low of $18 within Dixie County to a high of $4,647 within Brevard County. Per capita salary and wage payments ranged from a low of $70 within Dixie County to a high of $6,343 within Walton County. Federal procurement spending associated with NASA and salary and wage spending associated with Eglin Air Force Base in northwest Florida are factors in Brevard and Walton counties’ high per capita dollar figures, respectively. 3. Federal Direct Expenditures by Category as a Percentage of Total Table 2-3 on pages 36-37 provides a county-by-county list of federal direct expenditures by category as a percentage of total federal expenditures for the county. A number of factors explain differences in counties’ proportional shares attributable to each expenditure category. For example, the relative share attributable to federal direct payments to individuals was generally highest in counties with large elderly and civilian and military retiree populations, such as Clay, Flagler, and Lake; or with proportionately larger populations receiving certain payments other than for retirement and disability, such as Broward, De Soto, and Okeechobee. Excluding Leon County, the relative share attributable to federal grants was highest in less populated, rural county areas such as Gadsden, Jefferson, and Madison. The relative share attributable to federal procurement was high in counties such as Brevard, Okaloosa, and Orange, which are engaged in significant military and space-related contracting. The relative share attributable to federal salary and wage payments was generally highest in those areas, such as Okaloosa and Walton, where military installations are located. E. Conclusion The economic impact of federal direct expenditures varies significantly from one county to another as illustrated by the tables in Appendix A, which summarize annual federal direct expenditures by county geographic area from 1998 to 2009. Past changes in federal spending have had unequal impacts on local economies. Consequently, this information should be useful to policy makers as they assess the impact of future changes in federal direct expenditures on Florida’s local economies.
