For all state and local expenditures, Texas ranks 42nd per capita and 40th per $1,000 of personal income. Texas ranks just below the median on education and public safety. It ranks below the median on transportation and social services expenditures. Texas ranks lowest in the nation on administrative expenditures. It ranks 24th in debt held per capita.
