Indiana vs Texas

A $3.8B Midwest file with a cool $80.53 ratio

Texas’s $72.7B stacked stock sits well above Indiana’s $3.8B. Census population leans Texas: 31,290,831 versus 6,924,275. Intensity is the ranking that opens widest. $80.53 per capita in Indiana is far cooler than Texas’s $686.1. Cite those packet ratios beside the Census counts; they are not a second copy of $72.7B and $3.8B.

Award volume is thin on the Indiana side. 58,316 awards versus 530,634 is a much thinner action log. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 58,316 or 530,634.

Commercial building construction versus pharmaceutical preparation

Indiana’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. Texas’s is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. A construction peak is a first read on Indiana’s $3.8B mix. A drug-manufacturing peak is a first read on Texas’s $72.7B mix. Buildings and pharmaceuticals are not the same label.

The 58,316 Indiana awards and 530,634 Texas awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Indiana and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.

Indiana’s 58,316 awards and $557.6M FY2026 slice sit on 6,924,275 residents. Texas’s 530,634 awards and $21.5B sit on 31,290,831. Commercial and institutional building construction versus pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing remains the mix contrast on $3.8B and $72.7B. $80.53 versus $686.1 is the intensity ranking.
