Counties that routinely consider equity information	47%	Some of these counties introduce equity considerations during budget formulation to review proposals for new or expanded programs Some of these counties introduce equity considerations during budget execution to analyze regulatory policies, grants, contracting, and hiring decisions Most of these counties have more developed participatory processes that aim to engage community members in significant discussions
Counties with limited equity considerations	53%	Except for some nascent processes, none of these counties routinely consider equity information in their budgetary processes The participatory processes offered in these counties prioritize informing but do not necessarily engage their communities
