The annual per-capita spending for county government, adjusted for inflation.
Government provides critical services to communities, but the cost to taxpayers can be burdensome and can hinder efforts to attract and retain business.
Per-capita spending by county governments in the Mid-Hudson Valley was $2,160 in 2017, compared to the statewide (excluding NYC) figure of $2,440. Per-capita county government spending in the region increased 14% from 2000 to 2017 and 1% since 2016.
Sullivan had the highest per-capita spending among the counties in the region in 2017, at $4,130, followed by Greene at $1,890 and Orange at $1,660. Orange County, at 25%, closely followed by Sullivan at 24%, had the largest percentage increase in per-capita spending from 2000 to 2017. On the other hand, Columbia County had no change in its per-capita spending in that time period, and Putnam county decreased its spending by 8%.
Data are presented in constant 2017 dollars. Data for this indicator are expected to be released in the fourth quarter.
