Violent crime rate

144.8% above the national rate of 329.3 per 100,000

806.0 per 100,000 2025

Covers the 100.0% of the population whose agencies reported.

Offenses reported to police per 100,000 residents of the population the reporting agencies covered — not the state’s population, and a different share in each state. It is not a count of crime that happened.

Highest city crime rate

Washington, from 6,576 offenses over 702,250 residents

936.4 2024

The highest rate reported by any one agency in the state serving 25,000 people or more, over the population that agency serves. Agencies overlap and do not add up to the state, and an agency that reported nothing is absent rather than shown as zero.

Federal spending per resident

Higher than 49 of the 51 jurisdictions with a figure

$70,535 FY2025

Federal money obligated against a place of performance in the state, divided by its population. Where an award is administered, not where it reaches people.

Registered nonprofits

10,956 of them registered as charities

14,200 2026

Organizations the IRS lists in its Exempt Organizations Business Master File with an address in the state. Registration is not activity — the file records status, not whether an organization still operates — and churches and the smallest organizations are not required to register at all, so this undercounts by an unknown amount.

Industry payments to health providers

6,725 doctors, across 250,538 separate payments

$109.2 million 2019–2025

What drug and device manufacturers reported paying doctors and practitioners with a practice address in the state, added up across seven program years rather than taken in one. General payments only — research funding and ownership interests are separate transactions and are not in it — and a total rather than an average, because the denominator an average needs is how many doctors practice in the state, which neither CMS source publishes.

PPP loans approved

29,519 loans, 26,575 of them carrying a forgiveness amount

$3.3 billion 2020–2021

Paycheck Protection Program loans SBA guaranteed to businesses operating in the state, as each loan now stands. It counts loans, not businesses — a business with a first and a second draw is two — and it is loans, not grants: what was forgiven or charged off is on the state page, as of the date of SBA’s file.

School spending per pupil

85.8% above the national $16,398 per pupil

$30,462 FY2023

Current spending by the state’s public school districts over their fall membership, summed over every district, as NCES divides, for its newest fiscal year. It leaves out buildings, equipment and debt, it is in that year’s dollars, and a district that pays another to teach its pupils counts the tuition as its own spending.

Bank offices per 100,000 residents

and 12.7 credit-union sites per 100,000 residents

24.7 June 2026

Full-service offices of FDIC-insured banks in the state, counted where each office is, over the Census Bureau’s estimate of the state’s population. A bank headquartered elsewhere counts its offices here; drive-throughs, loan production offices and other limited-service sites are not counted. Credit unions are the NCUA’s and are never added in.

College sports revenue

across 8 colleges and 3,019 athletes

$160.4 million 2024–25

Athletics revenue the state’s colleges reported to the Department of Education’s Equity in Athletics survey for the newest survey year, which runs from September to August. It includes state support, student fees and what a college gives its own athletics, so it is not profit; it is in that year’s dollars, and each college counts under the state its newest row gives.

Federal civilian employees

The highest of the 51 jurisdictions with a figure

95,946 August 2026

Federal civilian employees in OPM’s file whose duty station is in the state, in the newest month OPM has not flagged as incomplete. OPM withholds the duty station of the Department of Defense, of ten security and sensitive agencies outside the Washington area and of twenty-six sensitive occupational series, so this counts the half of the workforce whose station is published, and a state with many Defense employees is undercounted most.
