How these figures are made. BRB lists every county an issuer serves and gives no shares, so an issuer's debt counts in its home county, the first county listed for it, and each dollar counts once statewide. Of Tarrant County's $6,875,412,000, $75,587,000 is owed by 1 issuer that lists other counties too; 1 issuer that lists Tarrant County counts in another. Debt per resident divides principal outstanding by the population on Tarrant County government's own row (2,230,708 residents) for the same fiscal year; per resident in the issuer list uses each government's own reported population. "Not reported" is never shown as zero.
