Data Notes: All calculations assume a 3% administrative cost deduction. Dividend formula: (Annual Tourism Spending × Tax Rate × 0.97) ÷ Population = Per Capita Dividend. Locations with "✓" after tourism figures have data sourced from official state or county tourism reports. All others use publicly available tourism bureau estimates and U.S. Census data. Composite scores weight legal feasibility, narrative strength, dividend impact, and opposition risk. This tool is for advocacy and illustration purposes — not legal or financial advice.
