Census of Governments, 1997: Finance Statistics

The United States Census Bureau conducts a Census of Governments every five years, in years ending in "2" or "7," to collect information about governments in the United States. The Finance Statistics branch of the 1997 Census of Governments describes the revenues, expenditures, debt, and assets of state and local governments. This data collection includes nine datasets, including individual unit data, county area data, and summaries by type-of-government (including several state summaries by individual types of governments). This data was collected for the individual government fiscal years that ended between July 1, 1996 and June 30, 1997.
