Indiana vs Oregon on USAspending: $3.83B vs $2.67B

Indiana posts $3.83B in USAspending.gov obligations; Oregon posts $2.67B. Indiana also has more people (6,924,275 versus 4,272,371), more awards (58,316 versus 36,965), and a higher spending-per-capita reading ($80.53 versus $56.06). FY2026 obligations are $557.6M in Indiana and $239.5M in Oregon. The industry peaks split: commercial and institutional building construction in Indiana, support activities for forestry in Oregon. All of those cuts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Indiana $3.83B vs Oregon $2.67B in stacked USAspending obligations.
  • Indiana per capita $80.53 vs Oregon $56.06 on 6,924,275 vs 4,272,371 residents.
  • Awards: 58,316 vs 36,965; FY2026 $557.6M vs $239.5M.
  • Top industries: commercial construction in Indiana; forestry support in Oregon.
  • Figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays.

Indiana leads every dollar cut in the packet

The stacked stocks are $3.83B in Indiana and $2.67B in Oregon. Census counts run the same way: 6,924,275 versus 4,272,371. Spending per capita still favors Indiana, $80.53 versus $56.06, so the extra people in Indiana do not dilute the ratio below Oregon’s.

Award volume follows the dollars. Indiana records 58,316 awards; Oregon records 36,965. Indiana’s file is larger in rows and in stock. Oregon’s 36,965 actions sit on $2.67B.

FY2026 is not a reversal. $557.6M versus $239.5M keeps Indiana ahead on recency. Cite USAspending.gov for the stacked totals and the latest-year amounts. Outlays are not in this packet.

Building construction against forestry support

Indiana’s largest NAICS slice is commercial and institutional building construction. Oregon’s largest NAICS slice is support activities for forestry. Those labels sit on $3.83B and $2.67B. They describe the peak industry, not the whole award file.

Most of the 58,316 Indiana awards and 36,965 Oregon awards fall outside those two labels. Agency and recipient detail lives on the Indiana and Oregon state hubs. Both mixes are USAspending.gov obligations.

Latest fiscal year: $557.6M versus $239.5M

FY2026 obligations are $557.6M in Indiana and $239.5M in Oregon. Recency matches the stacked ranking. The year is a slice of the obligation series, not cash paid by Treasury.

The all-years award counts (58,316 and 36,965) should not be divided into those FY2026 amounts. Per-capita figures of $80.53 and $56.06 already sit beside Census counts of 6,924,275 and 4,272,371.

Midwest volume versus Pacific headcount

Oregon’s 4,272,371 residents are not a small Census count. Indiana’s 6,924,275 still produce the larger obligation stock ($3.83B vs $2.67B) and the higher per-capita reading ($80.53 vs $56.06). Award volume of 58,316 versus 36,965 is Indiana’s win on rows as well.

Label those per-capita figures as Census-based packet figures on USAspending.gov obligations. They are not outlays per resident.

How to use the Indiana–Oregon tables

Start with Indiana on $3.83B, 58,316 awards, $80.53 per capita, 6,924,275 residents, and $557.6M in FY2026. Oregon’s matching cuts are $2.67B, 36,965 awards, $56.06 per capita, 4,272,371 residents, and $239.5M. Construction versus forestry support is the industry split.

The comparison hub holds the side-by-side tables. The Indiana and Oregon hubs hold agencies and recipients. Outlays are a separate series.

What this pair is not

This pair is not a cash-outlay comparison. The $3.83B and $2.67B totals, and the FY2026 amounts of $557.6M and $239.5M, are USAspending.gov obligations. Spending per capita of $80.53 and $56.06 uses Census population where present. Award counts of 58,316 and 36,965 are row totals, not average award size.

Indiana’s $3.83B and Oregon’s $2.67B are USAspending.gov obligations. So are FY2026 amounts of $557.6M and $239.5M. Outlays—the cash series—are not in the packet. An agency can obligate in one year and pay later.

Indiana also leads awards (58,316 vs 36,965), population (6,924,275 vs 4,272,371), and spending per capita ($80.53 vs $56.06). Commercial and institutional building construction versus support activities for forestry is mix, not a cash ranking.

Spending per capita uses Census where present. It is not outlays per resident. Award counts are row totals. Do not divide $557.6M or $239.5M by 58,316 or 36,965 all-years awards.

The comparison hub holds the side-by-side tables for Indiana versus Oregon. The Indiana hub and the Oregon hub hold agencies and recipients. Those pages stay inside the same USAspending.gov obligation series.

If a reader needs cash paid, that is a different USAspending.gov download. This packet stops at obligations: $3.83B versus $2.67B stacked, $557.6M versus $239.5M in FY2026, and Census-based per-capita figures of $80.53 and $56.06.
