This interactive county-level map from Carolina Forward visualizes how much of residents’ total personal income comes from government assistance — including Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps, disability, and veterans’ benefits. Using Bureau of Economic Analysis data through 2024, it lets advocates and funders quickly see which North Carolina counties are most dependent on public benefits, making it a useful tool for targeting outreach and making the case for why cuts to these programs hit hardest in specific communities.
