Expenditure Function Codes.

The data include a number of different functional separations for expenditures and the table above shows the name of each along with the corresponding census function number or numbers included in that expenditure function. NEC stands for not elsewhere classified. The indentation of the variables in the first column indicates how subcategories of data collapse into larger categories. More detailed descriptions of each expenditure function can be found in the Census’ 2006 classification manual (http://www.census.gov/govs/classification/) included with the database download.Expenditure Function Codes.
