Union County in numbers

American Community Survey five-year estimates ending 2024. These are sample estimates, not a count — each carries a margin of error, and where that margin is too wide to mean anything the figure is withheld rather than printed.

Federal money

Obligations recorded against a place of performance in Union County. An obligation is a legal commitment to pay, not cash out the door — outlays follow later, sometimes by years.

Figures are nominal — not adjusted for inflation — because USAspending publishes them that way and adjusting them here would mean this site had edited a government figure. The per-resident figure divides by the 2020 decennial count, which is the population USAspending carries; a 2020 denominator against 2025 spending overstates per-head figures wherever a place has grown since. Union County ranks 1254th of 3,233 on this measure in FY2025.
