This is a measure comparing Actual Effort (from Table 2) and Ability to Pay (from Table 4). Actual effort includes county appropriations for current expenses, and, when
<br />appropriate, supplemental tax levies for schools. Low-wealth counties with comparatively high spending levels have tended to rank highest on this measure.
