Award obligations, the amounts committed in the year, by the place where the work is done or the money is received, as agencies reported them to USAspending.gov. Social Security is counted where the people who receive it live; Medicare is not (see its figure above). Not here: federal employees’ salaries, the running of agencies, and interest on the debt, which are not awards. Per person uses the Census Bureau's estimate of 2,018,006 residents on 1 July 2025.
