  • Oakland Financial Breakdown

    Oakland, CA
    Budget

    Based on fiscal year 2019 audited financial data, Oakland faced severe fiscal strain entering the coronavirus pandemic with a total debt burden of $2.3 billion, equivalent to $17,000 per taxpayer, earning the city a "D" financial grade from Truth in Accounting. The city had only $1.7 billion in assets available to cover $4 billion in bills, creating the $2.3 billion shortfall. Oakland's financial problems stem primarily from unfunded retirement obligations: $1.9 billion in unfunded pension benefits and $927.8 million in unfunded retiree health care benefits out of $6.5 billion in total promised retirement benefits. The report projects Oakland's overall debt will likely increase due to pandemic-related revenue losses and insufficient reserves to weather economic disruptions.
