1Data for years prior to 1970 include expenditures for government fiscal years ending during that particular calendar year. Data for 1970 and later years are the aggregations of expenditures for government fiscal years that ended on June 30 of the stated year. General expenditures exclude expenditures of publicly owned utilities and liquor stores, and of insurance-trust activities. Intergovernmental payments between state and local governments are excluded. Payments to the federal government are included.
2Constant dollars based on a chain-price index, which uses the geometric mean of output weights of adjacent time periods compiled over a time series. Chain-price indexes reflect changes in prices, while implicit price deflators reflect changes both in prices and in the composition of output. More information is available at https://www.bea.gov/help/glossary/chained-type-index.
3Data adjusted by the CPU-RS, which is a price index of inflation that incorporates most of the improvements in methodology made to the current CPI-U since 1978 into a single, uniform series. See Census Bureau, Money Income in the United States: 1999 (https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2000/demo/p60-209.html).
4Population of the United States including armed forces overseas. Includes Alaska and Hawaii beginning in 1960.
5Resident population of the United States. Includes Alaska and Hawaii beginning in 1958. Excludes overseas armed forces personnel.
NOTE: Gross domestic product (GDP) data are adjusted by the GDP chained weight price deflator. Personal income data are adjusted by the personal consumption deflator. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
