Indiana leads every dollar cut in the packet

The stacked stocks are $3.83B in Indiana and $2.67B in Oregon. Census counts run the same way: 6,924,275 versus 4,272,371. Spending per capita still favors Indiana, $80.53 versus $56.06, so the extra people in Indiana do not dilute the ratio below Oregon’s.

Award volume follows the dollars. Indiana records 58,316 awards; Oregon records 36,965. Indiana’s file is larger in rows and in stock. Oregon’s 36,965 actions sit on $2.67B.

FY2026 is not a reversal. $557.6M versus $239.5M keeps Indiana ahead on recency. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked totals and the latest-year amounts. Outlays are not in this packet.

Building construction against forestry support

Indiana’s largest NAICS slice is commercial and institutional building construction. Oregon’s largest NAICS slice is support activities for forestry. Those labels sit on $3.83B and $2.67B. They describe the peak industry, not the whole award file.

Most of the 58,316 Indiana awards and 36,965 Oregon awards fall outside those two labels. Agency and recipient detail lives on the Indiana and Oregon state hubs. Both mixes are USAspending.gov obligations.
