New Hampshire vs Texas

9,224 awards on $2.5B

New Hampshire’s award count is the distinctive fact. 9,224 actions on $2.5B is a concentrated file. Texas’s 530,634 actions on $72.7B is a broad file. New Hampshire’s small-arms and ordnance peak is consistent with a few large manufacturing commitments rather than a high-frequency logistics tape. Texas’s pharmaceutical-preparation peak sits inside a much larger 530,634-row mix.

Population is 1,409,032 versus 31,290,831. New Hampshire is small on people and small on dollars, and still warmer per capita ($284.15) than many larger states in this slice. Texas remains higher at $686.1. Intensity is not inverted. Concentration of awards is.

Ordnance manufacturing versus pharmaceutical preparations

New Hampshire’s lead NAICS is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing. Texas’s lead NAICS is pharmaceutical preparation manufacturing. Two manufacturing peaks, two products, two scales: $2.5B versus $72.7B. The ordnance label is a first read of New Hampshire’s mix. It is not a count of every plant or every one of the 9,224 awards.
