Hawaii vs Oklahoma

Oklahoma’s stock lead, Hawaii’s busier award file

Oklahoma’s $5.46B is about 1.33 times Hawaii’s $4.09B. Population is about 2.83 times: 4,095,393 versus 1,446,146. People outrun dollars, yet Oklahoma still edges the per-capita ranking, $205.98 versus $196.71. That is a narrow intensity gap on a wide population gap. Both ratios are high; Oklahoma’s is slightly higher.

Award counts go the other way. Hawaii’s 75,796 awards exceed Oklahoma’s 50,460. The island file is busier in rows on a smaller dollar stock. Oklahoma’s 50,460 actions on $5.46B are fewer and, on a per-resident basis, still map to a slightly hotter ratio.

FY2026 then opens a gap the stacked file does not show. $843.6M in Oklahoma versus $284.5M in Hawaii is a much larger multiple than the stacked 1.33 times.

Aircraft parts in Oklahoma, construction in Hawaii

Oklahoma’s lead NAICS is other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Hawaii’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. Those peaks sit on $5.46B and $4.09B. An aircraft-parts lead is a first filter on the Oklahoma mix; a construction lead is a first filter on the Hawaii mix.

The 50,460 Oklahoma awards and 75,796 Hawaii awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Oklahoma and Hawaii state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.
