Idaho vs Maine

Related construction peaks, unmatched $80.33 versus $35.09

Idaho and Maine both lead with construction-family NAICS labels. They do not lead with matched ratios. Idaho’s $80.33 per capita versus Maine’s $35.09 is more than a twofold intensity gap on stocks of $1.2B versus $776.4M. Related mix language is not a matched file. Cite USAspending.gov.

Award counts of 29,667 versus 26,048 are the close cut. Maine’s contractor log is almost as busy as Idaho’s construction log and still cooler on intensity. Volume does not heat $35.09. FY2026 of $160.8M versus $49.3M follows Idaho.

Population of 2,001,619 versus 1,405,012 is a real Census gap. It does not fully explain the ratio split. Treat FY2026 as an obligation slice. Outlays are omitted. Census counts belong with those ratios on USAspending.gov obligations.
