Nebraska vs Wyoming

Two hot ratios, a services file against a construction file

Nebraska versus Wyoming is not a cool-versus-hot pair. Both per-capita readings are high relative to several states in this slice: $175.68 and $126.96. Nebraska still leads stacked dollars ($1.2B vs $598.9M), awards (36,000 vs 9,330), and FY2026 ($352.3M vs $74.6M). Cite USAspending.gov.

Mix splits the hot-ratio pair. Other computer related services lead Nebraska. Commercial and institutional building construction leads Wyoming. A services peak on 36,000 awards and a construction peak on 9,330 awards are different first reads.

FY2026 of $352.3M versus $74.6M is a recency cliff. Treat both amounts as obligation slices. Outlays are omitted. Census counts of 2,005,465 versus 587,618 belong with those ratios on USAspending.gov obligations. Row count is not average award size. Keep both per-capita readings labeled as packet figures.

Other computer related services versus building construction

Those NAICS peaks sit on $1.2B and $598.9M. Use the Nebraska and Wyoming state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

Wyoming’s 9,330 awards on a $126.96 ratio are a thinner, still-intense construction log. Nebraska’s 36,000 awards on $175.68 are the thicker services log. High ratio is not matched volume.
