State Awards From Most of the Rural Health Fund Could Vary Only Modestly Despite Large Differences in Rural Needs

Nov 6, 2025
Issue Brief

This brief provides estimates of how $37.5 billion of the $50 billion rural health fund could be distributed across states if all states are approved for funding. Awards from the $37.5 billion could range from an estimated $550 million (in Rhode Island) to just over $1 billion (in Texas) over five years if all states were approved for funding. These differences are relatively modest compared to the wide variation across states in rural health needs.
