I have downloaded TY 2012 Oregon EITC and Child Tax Credit information into a new Excel workbook HERE and embedded below. This workbook is focused on federal EITC and Child Care tax credits at the State of Oregon House and Senate District level. 

The data was downloaded from the Brooking EITC Interactive site HERE.

The workbook opens in a summary table that shows by party in each chamber:

• the number of total returns, 
• the returns receiving the EITC, 
• the dollar amount of the EITC received, 
• the percentage of all returns receiving the EITC, 
• and the average EITC $$ per EITC return.

Other worksheets include House and Senate EITC and child tax credit data by districts (with pivot tables for each) and worksheets listing House and Senate members by District and party. 

Some observations: 

1. In the House 18.3% of returns in Republic Districts received the EITC vs only 16.3% in Democratic Districts.
2. In the Senate 17.8% of returns in Republic Districts received the EITC vs only 16.5% in Democratic Districts.
3. The House average EITC $$ per EITC return in Republican Districts was $2,154 vs only $1,973 in Democratic Districts.
4. The Senate average EITC $$ per EITC return in Republican Districts was $2,147 vs. only $1,965 in Democratic Districts.
5. EITC and Child Tax Credits combined were $1.12 BILLION with EITC at $798 $556 Million.
