Special districts are keyed by their Census unit id, so each joins back to the Census finance and employment files.

Notes and known gaps

Every government unit, including 39,555 special districts; self-reported website. The website field is stale: 112 municipal sites in it are now hijacked spam (2026-10-19), and it has no district boundaries.
