“Modeling District Revenue to Certify Debt Service Obligations: Methodology Update 2025.(PDF)
This report uses a model to forecast the District’s gross revenue to be $12.0 billion (comprising local fund and dedicated revenue) for FY 2025, compared to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer’s (OCFO) December 2024 estimate of $11.6 billion. The OCFO’s December 2024 estimate is within the confidence interval of the model. The model uses published economic indicators that, for the most part, were last updated in December 2024 or January 2025.
Key takeaway: To show how D.C. revenues might be affected by changes in the federal government, the model also considered an alternate scenario in which federal employment is reduced by 25%. Under this scenario, the model predicts that:
District employment could be reduced by 50,000 jobs, including 14,000 jobs held by District residents.
District resident wages could decline by 5.3%.
The District’s gross domestic product could fall by 1.1%.
Annual revenues from D.C. income and sales taxes could decline by $450 million to $550 million. (more…)
