Total State Expenditures per Capita | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
I am not surprised at all by this. Despite, North Dakota and Wyoming being one party states they are large spenders on a per-capita basis.
Alaska spends about $18,000 per-capita, Wyoming $15,000 per-capita and North Dakota $10,000 per-capita.
Having lived in North Dakota before for short time and visiting Wyoming many times they sure have an amazing infrastructure public and private for the amount of people they have.
Having lived in North Dakota, been to Wyoming and visited California. I can say that North Dakota and Wyoming feel much more socialist in a good way then California which spends about $6,400 per person.
North Dakota for example spends 540 million a year on higher education with a population of 700,000, New Hampshire with twice the amount of people spends 123 million.
Arizona with nearly 10 times the population of North Dakota spends 820 million on higher education as opposed to 540 million in North Dakota
