Federal money in Texas

Every contract, grant, loan and direct payment the federal government committed for Texas in fiscal year 2025: which agencies, under which programs, who received it, and where in the state.

Texas carries 0.3% of the nation’s Medicare but has 9.19% of its people. USAspending publishes Medicare in aggregate, and the state it records does not follow where beneficiaries live, so Texas's residents received far more Medicare than the $3.16B recorded here. The per-person figure above leaves Medicare out for that reason; the total includes it.

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 31,709,821 residents on 1 July 2025.

From USAspending.gov: prime award obligations with a place of performance in Texas, fiscal year 2025 (by action date). A recipient’s own address can be elsewhere; the place is where the work is done or the payment received.
