Montana vs Vermont

Montana’s $187.18 against a specialized Vermont manufacturing peak

Vermont’s missile-and-space-parts peak is the distinctive mix cut. It sits on a $1.0B stock, 12,020 awards, and 648,493 residents—not on a hot ratio. Montana’s construction peak sits on $1.2B, 21,487 awards, and $187.18 per capita. Specialized manufacturing is mix, not a guarantee of intensity. Cite USAspending.gov.

FY2026 of $212.9M versus $47.3M is the recency cliff. Vermont’s $47.3M latest-year slice is thin next to Montana’s $212.9M. Recency follows the hotter-ratio state here, not the specialized NAICS label.

Population of 1,137,233 versus 648,493 is a real Census gap and still smaller than some pairs. Intensity of $187.18 versus $72.92 is not explained by headcount alone. Montana’s construction-led file is the hotter one.

Building construction versus missile and space vehicle parts

Montana’s lead industry is commercial and institutional building construction. Vermont’s is other guided missile and space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. A construction peak on $1.2B and a missile-parts peak on $1.0B are different mixes.

Use the Montana and Vermont state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed. Vermont’s 12,020 awards include many actions outside missile parts.
