County Heat Map — Who Got the Most Money

Hover a county for its total; click it for its items and legislators. Multi-county items are split evenly among named counties. Statewide grants (NC associations, LME/MCOs, food banks and the like) aren't on the map — see the statewide ledger at the bottom.

Look Up a Legislator

A legislator's total is the sum of all identified money in every county they represent. Counties shared by several legislators count fully for each, so totals overlap and will not sum to the statewide total.
