Idaho vs Maine on USAspending: $1.2B vs $776.4M

Related construction peaks, unmatched $80.33 versus $35.09

Idaho and Maine both lead with construction-family NAICS labels. They do not lead with matched ratios. Idaho’s $80.33 per capita versus Maine’s $35.09 is more than a twofold intensity gap on stocks of $1.2B versus $776.4M. Related mix language is not a matched file. Cite USAspending.gov.

Award counts of 29,667 versus 26,048 are the close cut. Maine’s contractor log is almost as busy as Idaho’s construction log and still cooler on intensity. Volume does not heat $35.09. FY2026 of $160.8M versus $49.3M follows Idaho.

Population of 2,001,619 versus 1,405,012 is a real Census gap. It does not fully explain the ratio split. Treat FY2026 as an obligation slice. Outlays are omitted. Census counts belong with those ratios on USAspending.gov obligations.

Building construction versus other building equipment contractors

Those peaks are first reads on $1.2B and $776.4M. Use the Idaho and Maine state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes. Outlays are not listed.

Maine’s 26,048 awards include many actions outside other building equipment contractors. Idaho’s 29,667 awards extend beyond commercial and institutional building construction. Related labels are not identical mixes.

FY2026: $160.8M versus $49.3M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $160.8M in Idaho and $49.3M in Maine. Recency follows Idaho; Maine’s near-matched award count does not close FY2026. Treat the year as a recency slice of USAspending.gov obligations, not as Treasury cash already paid.

Do not divide $160.8M or $49.3M by 29,667 or 26,048 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $80.33 and $35.09 already sits beside Census counts of 2,001,619 and 1,405,012. Cite USAspending.gov for both the stacked stocks ($1.2B vs $776.4M) and the latest-year amounts.

A busy Maine contractor log on a cool ratio

Maine’s 26,048 awards on $776.4M look busy next to some thinner logs in this slice. Next to Idaho they look close in rows and far in dollars and intensity. The $49.3M FY2026 slice is the thin recency cut.

Idaho’s $1.2B construction-led file, $80.33 per capita, and $160.8M latest-year amount remain larger. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep every dollar figure labeled as an obligation.

Obligations, outlays, and the packet's cuts

Idaho versus Maine pairs related construction-family NAICS peaks with unmatched intensity: $80.33 on $1.2B against $35.09 on $776.4M, despite award counts that sit close. Idaho's packet cuts are $1.2B stacked, $160.8M in FY2026, 29,667 awards, 2,001,619 residents, and $80.33 per capita, with commercial and institutional building construction as the lead NAICS. Maine's packet cuts are $776.4M stacked, $49.3M in FY2026, 26,048 awards, 1,405,012 residents, and $35.09 per capita, with other building equipment contractors as the lead NAICS. An obligation is a commitment recorded in USAspending.gov. An outlay is cash paid later and is not in this packet. Do not invent average award size from 29,667 or 26,048. Use the comparison hub for the tables. The Idaho and Maine state hubs hold agencies and recipients. Cite USAspending.gov. Keep $80.33 and $35.09 labeled as Census-based obligation ratios. Keep $1.2B and $776.4M labeled as stacked obligation stocks, not as FY2026 cash and not as outlays. Recency slices of $160.8M and $49.3M remain obligation cuts for fiscal year 2026. Population figures are Census counts. commercial and institutional building construction and other building equipment contractors remain mix labels, not proofs of a typical award and not substitutes for the stacked ranking of $1.2B versus $776.4M. FY2026 amounts of $160.8M and $49.3M should not be divided by all-years award counts of 29,667 and 26,048. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked stocks, the latest-year slice, and the Census-based ratios. Keep 29,667 and 26,048 labeled as all-years award totals rather than as FY2026 denominators. Outlays remain unpublished.
