The Pension Review Board data shows that many local pension systems are severely underfunded.
Although most Texas public employee pensions are managed by statewide systems, the Lone Star state also has more than 80 single employer plans. Some of these locally managed systems are seriously underfunded, and those outside major media markets like Houston and Dallas-Ft. Worth may fly under the radar screen.
To help Texans see how nearby public plans are performing, we built a map of Texas’ local pension systems using data provided by the Texas Pension Review Board (PRB). We used different icons to distinguish between police pension systems, fire pension systems, and other systems. You can click on an icon to see key data points about each system. Because some cities have multiple plans, you may need to zoom in to reach all the icons.
