Very curious about Oregon as a resident. We’re a tiny economy and population relative to CA or even WA, but surprised a bit by this; wonder if there are agricultural subsidies that relative to our economy tip this that much?
Looks like older than national average population, receiving those elderly benefits. And after that is BLM, with fire suppression of all those beautiful forests you have on federal lands being a main driver there.
Do you have a link to the source data on IRS? Surprised to hear we have an older than avg population, federal forest spending…shocked to hear they spend anything.
