Idaho vs Vermont

Close ratios, unmatched scale and recency

Idaho versus Vermont is one of the closer per-capita pairs in this slice: $80.33 versus $72.92. Stacked dollars still favor Idaho, $1.2B versus $1.0B, because Idaho has 2,001,619 residents against Vermont’s 648,493. Intensity is not the split. Scale is. Cite USAspending.gov.

FY2026 is less close than the ratios: $160.8M versus $47.3M. Recency follows Idaho’s larger file. Vermont’s missile-parts peak does not produce a matching latest-year total. Treat FY2026 as an obligation slice, not Treasury cash.

Award volume follows scale, 29,667 versus 12,020. Row count is not average award size. Do not invent a mean from those totals. Outlays are omitted.

Building construction versus missile and space vehicle parts

Idaho’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. Vermont’s is other guided missile and space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Close per-capita readings do not make those mix labels interchangeable.

Use the Idaho and Vermont state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed. Vermont’s specialized manufacturing peak sits on 12,020 awards and $72.92 per capita.
