Maine vs Wyoming

Maine’s $776.4M stock against Wyoming’s $126.96 intensity

Maine’s $776.4M stacked stock sits above Wyoming’s $598.9M. Census population leans Maine even more: 1,405,012 versus 587,618. Intensity is the ranking that inverts. $126.96 per capita in Wyoming is several times Maine’s $35.09.

Award volume follows the larger stock. Maine’s 26,048 awards versus Wyoming’s 9,330 is a much thicker action log. Row count is not average award size. Cite USAspending.gov. Do not invent a mean from 26,048 or 9,330.

The 26,048 Maine awards and 9,330 Wyoming awards include many actions outside those two industries. Use the Maine and Wyoming state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not in the packet.
