Nevada vs South Carolina

South Carolina wins the stock; Nevada wins intensity and FY2026

South Carolina’s $3.85B stacked total is about 1.35 times Nevada’s $2.86B. South Carolina’s Census count of 5,478,831 is about 1.68 times Nevada’s 3,267,467. Intensity therefore runs against the stock: $171.84 per capita in Nevada and $83.98 in South Carolina. Nevada concentrates $2.86B on fewer people. South Carolina spreads $3.85B on more people. Those ratios are packet figures of USAspending.gov obligations beside Census population, not outlays per resident.

Award counts follow the dollar ranking. South Carolina files 129,440 actions; Nevada files 45,442. About 2.85 times as many rows sit on about 1.35 times the dollars. South Carolina’s file is busier. Nevada’s file is hotter per resident.

FY2026 then hands Nevada a recency lead the stacked ranking conceals. That three-way split — stock one way, intensity the other, recency the other — is this pair’s structure.

Automobile manufacturing versus biologics manufacturing

Nevada’s lead NAICS is automobile manufacturing. South Carolina’s lead NAICS is biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing. Auto manufacturing is Nevada’s peak on $2.86B and 45,442 awards. Biologics manufacturing is South Carolina’s peak on $3.85B and 129,440 awards. Two manufacturing peaks, two different products, two different file shapes.

Those labels are the largest NAICS slices, not complete profiles. The Nevada and South Carolina state hubs list agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.
