The Census Bureau's survey includes public pensions sponsored by local and state government entities with employees who are compensated with public funds. The local governments include counties, townships, school districts and special districts.
The data gathered includes revenues, expenditures, financial assets, membership and liabilities information.
It's worth noting that residents in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are not subject to state income taxes.
The Census Bureau cautions that not all respondents answer all survey questions. Thus, some fields were left blank.
Kentucky reported data from 31 pension systems, including six state-level pension funds and 25 local-level systems. The total number of pension system members was 609,062 (604,504 at the state level and 4,558 at the local level).
