California vs Oklahoma on USAspending: $39.5B against $5.5B

50,460 awards on a $5.5B aerospace-parts file

Oklahoma’s award count is concentrated. 50,460 actions on $5.5B against California’s 639,340 on $39.5B means Oklahoma’s row share is about 8 percent while its dollar share is about 14 percent. The tape is dollar-heavy relative to rows, consistent with an aircraft-parts peak rather than a high-frequency logistics file.

Oklahoma’s 4,095,393 residents are about 10 percent of California’s 39,431,263. Oklahoma’s $5.5B is about 14 percent of California’s $39.5B. Dollars outrun population, which is why $205.98 exceeds $135.64. Scale remains California’s. Intensity is Oklahoma’s.

Aircraft parts in Oklahoma, buildings in California

Oklahoma’s lead NAICS is other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. California’s lead NAICS is commercial and institutional building construction. An aerospace-parts peak on $5.5B is a different federal buying pattern than a facilities peak on $39.5B. The packet names those peaks; it does not give shares or plant lists.

Use the California and Oklahoma state hubs for agencies and recipients. Cite USAspending.gov. The 50,460 and 639,340 rows include many other NAICS codes. Do not treat the aircraft-parts peak as an outlay category.

FY2026: $843.6M versus $5.3B

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $5.3B in California and $843.6M in Oklahoma. Oklahoma’s latest-year amount is a sizable slice of $5.5B. California’s $5.3B is a smaller share of $39.5B. Recency narrows the dollar gap relative to the stacked stock, without reversing California’s lead.

Treat FY2026 as a recency slice of obligations, not Treasury cash. Do not divide $5.3B or $843.6M by 639,340 or 50,460 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $135.64 and $205.98 already uses Census denominators of 39,431,263 and 4,095,393.

What the $205.98 reading records

Oklahoma’s $205.98 on 4,095,393 residents is the intensity line that keeps this pairing from being only a scale story. California still books $39.5B against $5.5B. Oklahoma’s reading is heavy relative to its Census count and sits on a concentrated 50,460-row tape.

Keep those figures labeled as Census-based packet figures on USAspending.gov obligations. They are not outlays per resident. Place-of-performance for aircraft parts can sit at a supplier. The packet does not reallocate.

Fifty thousand aerospace-parts actions on $5.5B

Oklahoma’s other-aircraft-parts peak on $5.5B with 50,460 awards is a concentrated aerospace signature. The intensity inversion is Oklahoma’s: $205.98 on 4,095,393 residents against California’s $135.64 on 39,431,263. Scale remains California’s at $39.5B versus $5.5B. Oklahoma’s tape is thin in rows and heavier per resident. California’s 639,340 awards sit on a larger stack and a cooler ratio.

FY2026 of $843.6M versus $5.3B is a sizable Oklahoma slice of $5.5B. Recency narrows the dollar gap relative to the stacked stock without reversing California’s lead. Cite USAspending.gov for obligations. Do not convert aircraft-parts dollars into outlays, and do not divide $843.6M by 50,460 all-years awards.

Place-of-performance for aircraft parts can sit at a supplier. The packet does not reallocate. Use the California and Oklahoma hubs for agencies and recipients. The comparison hub holds the $39.5B versus $5.5B tables. Keep 50,460 versus 639,340 labeled as all-years award counts. Commercial construction versus aircraft parts are mix tags on different stacks.

Oklahoma’s 50,460 awards on 4,095,393 residents under $205.98 per capita describe a concentrated aircraft-parts file on $5.5B that wins intensity. California’s $39.5B, 639,340 awards, and $135.64 on 39,431,263 residents remain the scale side. FY2026 of $843.6M versus $5.3B is a sizable Oklahoma cut. Cite USAspending.gov obligations only. Cash paid is not in the packet.

How to read California versus Oklahoma

Read California first on stacked dollars ($39.5B vs $5.5B) and award count (639,340 vs 50,460). Read Oklahoma first on spending per capita ($205.98 vs $135.64) and on a $843.6M FY2026 slice against California’s $5.3B. Note aircraft parts versus commercial construction.

The comparison hub holds the tables. Outlays are not listed.

Oklahoma’s 4,095,393 residents and California’s 39,431,263 residents set the $205.98 versus $135.64 denominators on $5.5B versus $39.5B. Award counts of 50,460 versus 639,340 and FY2026 of $843.6M versus $5.3B complete the comparison. Aircraft parts versus commercial construction remains the mix contrast. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep every dollar labeled as an obligation.

Questions

Does California or Oklahoma have more federal spending?

California leads stacked USAspending.gov obligations $39.5B to Oklahoma’s $5.5B. Oklahoma leads spending per capita, $205.98 versus $135.64, on 4,095,393 residents against California’s 39,431,263. Award counts are 639,340 in California and 50,460 in Oklahoma. FY2026 obligations are $5.3B in California and $843.6M in Oklahoma.

Why is Oklahoma’s per-capita figure higher than California’s?

The packet reports $205.98 per capita in Oklahoma on 4,095,393 residents and $135.64 in California on 39,431,263. Stacked stocks are $5.5B versus $39.5B, a smaller multiple than the population gap. Award counts are 50,460 versus 639,340. These figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays.

What industries lead in California and Oklahoma?

California’s top industry is commercial and institutional building construction. Oklahoma’s is other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. Those labels are the largest NAICS slices on $39.5B and $5.5B. Award counts are 639,340 in California and 50,460 in Oklahoma. Those peaks are mix labels on the stacked stocks, not inventories of every award.

Are California vs Oklahoma figures Treasury outlays?

No. The $39.5B and $5.5B totals, and FY2026 amounts of $5.3B and $843.6M, are USAspending.gov obligations. Outlays are cash payments and can lag. Spending per capita ($135.64 vs $205.98) uses Census population where present. Award counts in the packet are all-years totals, not a single fiscal year’s actions.
