For our interactive tool, we analyze 71 major federal infrastructure programs funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and annual appropriations (many programs were allocated funding through multiple laws). The data presented here are limited to fiscal years 2022-2025. The funding data comes from USAspending.gov, which is standardized across federal agencies. Demographic and need indicator data are sourced from approximately two dozen publicly available sources, including the 2016–20 American Community Survey 5-Year estimates from the US Census Bureau and data produced by other federal agencies.
To learn more about how to use this tool, see our user guide.
Previous versions of this tool, released in 2023 and 2025, came from a combination of sources, including USAspending.gov, program fact sheets, and agency-level press releases and award announcements.
