Nebraska vs North Dakota

A 36,000-row services log against 7,218 construction awards

Nebraska and North Dakota share a regional neighborhood and almost nothing else in this packet. Nebraska’s services peak sits on $1.2B, 36,000 awards, $175.68 per capita, and $352.3M in FY2026. North Dakota’s construction peak sits on $700.4M, 7,218 awards, $63.75 per capita, and $50.8M. Cite USAspending.gov.

Award volume of 36,000 versus 7,218 is one of the wider row gaps among neighboring pairs. The thinner construction log still posts $700.4M. It does not match Nebraska’s services file. Row count is not average award size. Do not invent a mean from 36,000 or 7,218.

FY2026 of $352.3M versus $50.8M is a recency cliff. Treat both amounts as obligation slices. Outlays are omitted. Census counts of 2,005,465 versus 796,568 belong with the $175.68 and $63.75 readings on USAspending.gov obligations.

Other computer related services versus building construction

Those NAICS peaks are first reads on $1.2B and $700.4M. Use the Nebraska and North Dakota state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

Neighbor status does not merge a services mix with a construction mix. North Dakota’s 7,218 awards include many actions outside building construction. Nebraska’s 36,000 awards extend beyond computer related services.
