BySophie Tremblay

How do taxes in your state compare regionally and nationally? Facts and Figures, a resource we’ve provided to U.S. taxpayers and legislators since 1941, serves as a one-stop state tax data resource that compares all 50 states on over 40 measures of tax rates, collections, burdens, and more.

In 1941, we introduced our first edition of Facts & Figures. “There is need for concise and accurate data,” we wrote. “Facts give a broader perspective; facts dissipate predilections and prejudices. . .[and] this collection of data is an important step to meet the challenge presented by the broad problems of public finance.” Facts & Figures 2022: How Does Your State Compare? builds on these seven decades of tradition. Mailed to every state legislator and governor, this handbook is designed to be a pocket- and purse-sized guide to state rankings on tax rates, collections, burdens, and more. For easy accessibility, this publication includes an interactive web tool and is also available as a downloadable PDF. Explore the latest 2022 state tax data and rankings!
