ABSTRACT
The burden of federal taxes does not fall equally on the cities, counties and
congressional districts that comprise the geographic landscape of the United
States. Because tax collections figures provide little information about the true
economic burden of taxes, researchers must employ various statistical methods to
estimate the economic incidence of federal taxes across geographic areas. We
outline a detailed methodology for modeling the burden of each federal tax-
individual income, corporate income, payroll, estate and gift, and all excises-by
narrow geographic areas. Using this model, we provide estimates of federal tax
burdens by three geographic areas for Calendar Year 2004-major city area,
county and U.S. congressional district.
The authors are staff economists at the Tax Foundation.
