As Americans head to the polls — or the mail-in ballot drop boxes — voters
will weigh in on their own state's financial health based on who they
elect in state, local and federal elections.

To put states' financial health — and the potential impact on residents of those states — into context, MoneyGeek analyzed and ranked states
according to their dependence on the federal government. Rankings account
for political affiliation, net benefits individuals and organizations in
the state receive, state government revenue from federal sources and GDP
per capita. Key Findings:

7 of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were
Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.05 per
dollar spent. Twenty-nine states sent more to the federal government
than they received, compared to just nine states in 2021. Of the
states that sent more than they received, 52% were Democrat-voting and
48% were Republican-voting. New Mexico had the highest return on
federal spending of any state ($3.69), and Delaware had the lowest
($0.32).
