NOTE: Current expenditure data in this table differ from figures appearing in other tables because of slightly varying definitions used in the Governmental Finances and Common Core of Data surveys. In 2011-12, a census of state and local governments was conducted; therefore, standard errors are not applicable. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
