Indiana vs Nevada

A doubled Census count cools Indiana’s $3.83B

Indiana’s $3.83B stacked total is about 1.34 times Nevada’s $2.86B. Indiana’s Census count of 6,924,275 is about 2.12 times Nevada’s 3,267,467. Intensity therefore runs against the stock: $80.53 per capita in Indiana and $171.84 in Nevada. Spreading $3.83B across more than twice the people cools the ratio. Concentrating $2.86B on 3,267,467 people heats it. Those ratios are packet figures of USAspending.gov obligations beside Census population, not outlays per resident.

Award counts follow the dollar ranking, but not by much: 58,316 in Indiana and 45,442 in Nevada. This pair is not a row-volume blowout. It is a population-and-intensity story with a recency near-tie on top.

Keep $3.83B and $2.86B labeled as obligations. A Midwest-to-Mountain comparison that swapped in outlays would be a different table.

Commercial construction versus automobile manufacturing

Indiana’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. Nevada’s lead NAICS is automobile manufacturing. Construction is Indiana’s peak on $3.83B and 58,316 awards. Auto manufacturing is Nevada’s peak on $2.86B and 45,442 awards. Two different industrial peaks sit on files that are not far apart on row count.

Those labels are the largest NAICS slices, not complete profiles. The Indiana and Nevada state hubs list agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.
