Equity scores

Is Infrastructure Funding Allocated Equitably?

For each federal program, we compared a jurisdiction’s percentile for per-capita funding received with that jurisdiction’s percentiles along a number of different demographic and need indicators. A number above 0 means a program is overfunding a jurisdiction compared with the selected indicator, and a number below 0 means the program is underfunding the jurisdiction compared with the selected indicator.

About

For this tool, we analyzed 58 grant programs funded by IIJA and eight housing programs that use annual HUD appropriations. The data presented here are limited to fiscal year 2022. We collected program data from federal departmental announcements and project fact sheets. Demographic and need indicator data are sourced from approximately two dozen publicly available sources, including the 2016–20 American Community Survey 5-Year estimates from the US Census Bureau and data produced by other federal agencies.
