Oregon Projected Recovery Bill Dollars are MORE than $6.5 Billion, $4,401 per Household.

The Center for American Progress has a state map HERE showing projected state dollars from the final Recovery Act provisions; for Oregon their projection shows $6.48 Billion. That works out to $4,401 for each of the 1,471,965 (ACS 2007) households in Oregon (slightly less than the projected $4,688 for each of the 112,377,977 households in the U.S.)

NOTE: Map and data for specific programs includes ONLY 69% of total Recovery Act dollars, so actual Oregon totals will likely be HIGHER than this total. For example, HUD dollars for Section 8 project based and Green Building and Lead Hazard Abatement/Healthy homes are not allocated to state levels. CAP totals for HUD are about $78 million while I have previously projected HUD totals for Oregon will be about $105.6 million when all HUD programs are included.

The CAP map also includes a link to Excel state data they used, it's HERE.

Oregon data: Three Items-Making Work Pay tax credit, Medicaid, and AMT Relief Are 48% of Projected Oregon Dollars.

I constructed two Oregon tables HERE. The first mirrors the table structure of the CAP data, and the second ranks the programs shown by the total dollars projected for Oregon. From this second table you can see that the Making Work Pay tax credit, Medicaid, and AMT relief rank at the top in total dollars and make up 48% of all of the projected dollars for Oregon; dollars for HUD programs rank toward the bottom of programs with projected Oregon funding).
