Government

This section of the report deals primarily with county government fiscal affairs. Tables consist of county and state data regarding revenue, expenditures, debt, taxes, and community aid. The indicators reflect governmental size, scope, and financial health. Sources of information include the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), and information procured directly from the counties’ annual financial reports, which are filed with DCED.

The statistics presented here are government-wide, meaning that the data includes each county’s component parts. They contain details from each county’s general fund and all other major and minor funds for which the county is responsible.
