Of Hill County's $154,597,164, $0 is owed by 0 issuers that list other counties too; 1 issuer that lists Hill County counts in another. Total principal outstanding: principal outstanding at the fiscal year end, summed over the local governments attributed to the county. "Not reported" is never shown as zero.
